If your underlying architecture is not built to support this behavior, you’re creating quite a few headaches for yourself and your Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline. By following a few guidelines, you can ensure that the Artifact (the built code) you create is the same throughout each environment. In this article, we walk through a CI/CD pipeline deploying to AWS Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) that simplifies the deployment process and guarantees the “build once, deploy anywhere” principle is followed.

Technology is ever-changing, and the options available to product teams continue to expand. Coordinating a team around a technology stack can be challenging, but it’s a necessary practice to enable faster delivery.

In this article, we’ll show you how we worked with one product delivery team to realize the benefits of adopting .Net Core and developed a template application that could be used for future development efforts.

Going cloud-native and choosing AWS as your cloud platform is an important decision. Once you’ve set your mind to that path, the next step is to select the right managed services for your infrastructure. If you’re implementing a microservice approach on AWS, there are multiple options for hosting your containerized services.
