At AWS re:Invent 2024, Amazon Web Services (AWS) unveiled Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes (EKS-H), a groundbreaking solution that revolutionizes the management of Kubernetes clusters. This innovative offering enables consistent management of EKS clusters across on-premises, edge, and EC2 compute nodes, effectively unifying cloud and on-premises resources under a single, efficient EKS control plane.
As a launch partner, Solo.io is proud to announce that our products seamlessly integrate with EKS-H, providing customers with advanced capabilities to optimize their hybrid cloud environments. Our solutions have successfully undergone Amazon Conformitron testing on EKS Hybrid Nodes, ensuring optimal performance and functionality. This compatibility allows our customers to leverage the full potential of EKS Hybrid Nodes while benefiting from Solo.io's cutting-edge service mesh and API management technologies.
As a long-standing partner, Solo.io collaborates closely with AWS and has developed a rich history of delivering innovative solutions for our mutual customers. Over the past few years, we've worked together to provide advanced service mesh integrations, enhanced security capabilities, and unified monitoring solutions. Some notable milestones in our collaboration include:
- Amazon EKS add-ons for Istio are available in both Sidecar and Ambient modes with a few simple steps.
- Gloo Gateway EKS Add-on fully supports Kubernetes Gateway API.
- The most recent addition to our joint offerings is the powerful Gloo AI Gateway, which brings enhanced capabilities to cloud-native environments for AWS Workloads.
- We also offer an in-depth technical AWS Workshop that demonstrates the integration of Solo.io products within AWS environments.
- Using the Amazon Conformitron validation process, Solo.io has ensured compatibility across Amazon EKS, EKS Anywhere, and other platforms, including extensive testing for scalability, latency, and throughput.
To ensure the highest level of compatibility and performance, Solo.io has leveraged the Amazon Conformitron validation process. This rigorous testing methodology has allowed us to verify compatibility across Amazon EKS, EKS Anywhere, and other platforms, with extensive testing for scalability, latency, and throughput.
We understand that customers frequently request cohesive operations across cloud and on-premises environments, including unified monitoring dashboards and streamlined identity management. In response to these needs, the Istio community introduced Ambient mode, which is fully supported on AWS. By eliminating sidecar proxies, Ambient mode significantly reduces resource overhead and management complexity, providing a cost-effective solution for AWS customers.
As AWS transitions away from App Mesh, Solo.io is stepping up to support AWS customers through this change. We're committed to ensuring continuity and providing advanced service mesh capabilities. Our deep involvement with OSS Istio since its inception, combined with our track record of enterprise-level support for some of the largest global enterprises, uniquely positions us to guide AWS customers through a smooth migration. We also offer continued enhancements to service mesh functionalities, as detailed in Solo's Migration Guide for App Mesh Customers.
