Effortless application modernization: migrate to Amazon EKS with existing NLB setup
Containers Blog
This article discusses a migration strategy for moving applications from Amazon EC2 to Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) using a hybrid deployment approach with Network Load Balancers (NLB).
- Enables gradual, low-risk migration of applications between infrastructure environments
- Uses TargetGroupBinding to maintain existing load balancer configurations
- Allows routing traffic to both EC2 and EKS environments simultaneously
- Provides controlled migration with easy rollback capabilities
- Supports A/B testing and performance comparison between deployment environments
The migration process involves creating new target groups, deploying containerized applications to EKS, configuring load balancer listeners, and gradually shifting traffic from EC2 to EKS using precise AWS CLI commands and Kubernetes configurations.
