In today’s digital-first economy, businesses are rethinking how to build resilient, scalable, secure, and customer-centric applications. For many, Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) has become the platform of choice for deploying modern, containerized workloads at scale. Solo.io’s collaboration with AWS enhances this journey by enabling organizations to adopt EKS confidently, with integrated support for multi-environment flexibility, zero-trust security, and simplified network management. Together, we’re helping companies innovate faster, streamline operations, and strengthen security—all while reducing the complexities of cloud-native adoption.
Embracing Cloud-Native with AWS and Solo.io
At Solo.io, we’re dedicated to helping organizations unlock the full potential of Amazon EKS. Through deep integration with AWS, we simplify and enhance EKS adoption to address the core modernization challenges of managing complexity, strengthening security, and scaling seamlessly. Our partnership with AWS enables organizations to pursue a cloud-native future, combining Solo.io’s expertise in service mesh and API gateway technologies with AWS’s industry-leading infrastructure to empower:
- Operational Efficiency: Solo.io’s integration with EKS centralizes the management and automation of complex application networking, allowing teams to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure.
- Enhanced Security: With our Gloo Platform—including Gloo Gateway and Gloo Mesh—organizations benefit from robust security controls and a zero-trust approach that protects applications at every layer.
- Developer Productivity: By simplifying network management and application deployment, Solo.io and AWS help development teams build, deploy, and iterate faster, enhancing workflows and reducing time to market.
Why Diverse Environments Demand a Flexible Approach
Not all organizations are ready to transition fully to the cloud. Many balance legacy systems with modern applications, manage a mix of on-premises and cloud deployments or adopt multi-cloud strategies for resilience. Solo.io’s technology, paired with the power of Amazon EKS, supports these varied architectures, providing an adaptable pathway for businesses wherever they are in their modernization journey.
Delivering on Modernization Initiatives with EKS
Amazon EKS serves as a foundational layer for many organizations’ modernization strategies, enabling them to adopt Kubernetes at scale. Solo.io builds on EKS by offering advanced networking capabilities, service resilience, and consistent experience across multi-cloud and hybrid environments, supporting multi-cluster deployments, advanced traffic management, and high availability.
Recent success stories demonstrate the power of this partnership. Trust Bank, for example, leveraged Solo.io’s service mesh and API gateway solutions with EKS to streamline their digital banking services. With zero-trust security at the core, Trust Bank enhanced both security and scalability, allowing them to protect customer data better while providing a seamless user experience. For financial institutions facing regulatory and operational complexities, Trust Bank’s success highlights the benefits of combining AWS EKS with Solo.io for flexible, secure, and scalable infrastructure.
Similarly, CARFAX transitioned from a monolithic architecture to microservices on AWS EKS with Solo.io’s Gloo Platform. This shift enabled CARFAX to bring new services to market faster and enhance application security with zero-trust principles. By partnering with AWS, Solo.io helped CARFAX achieve seamless microservices management and secure connectivity across applications. For companies looking to modernize, these examples showcase a clear path forward that combines agility, security, and scalability. Read the full story here.
