TL;DR

This work builds a cloud-native observability system on Amazon EKS, with full automation, that offers a production-grade reference architecture to transition from a debugging to a monitoring mindset to improve reliability and performance.

Abstract

The emergence of microservices and container-based applications, brings with it challenges of lack of observability, manual deployment and time to detect outages. Our work addresses these challenges by building a cloud-native observability system on Amazon EKS, with full automation. This involves provisioning using Amazon EKS and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform, along with CI/CD automation with GitHub Actions and keyless OpenID Connect (OIDC). Docker is used to containerize applications and Helm for deployment. Container monitoring is achieved with a monitoring stack (Prometheus and Grafana), Alertmanager and Blackbox Exporter, covering the Four Golden Signals: traffic, latency, errors and saturation. The system was successfully deployed and tested in a live environment on AWS with zero touch deployments, monitoring and alerts. This work offers a production-grade reference architecture to transition from a debugging to a monitoring mindset to improve reliability and performance.

Policy-as-Code and Event-Driven State Reconciliation for Automated Multi-Cloud Security

Multi-cloud workloads inherit a different identity model, resource defaults, and audit interface from each provider, so a security control is enforced unevenly, and a change made outside the deployment pipeline leaves a resource exposed until someone notices. This paper presents a framework that closes this exposure wi...
