Declarative deployment with Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS and AWS Controllers for Kubernetes
Running applications on Red Hat OpenShift or Kubernetes in cloud environments can require dependencies and integrations from outside the cluster. Amazon Web Services users are generally using native AWS services, which can benefit from the functionality of AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK).
Using AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK)
ACK is a collection of open source operators that can be deployed on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) in order to assist with the integration of AWS services. Once implemented, ACK can create, configure, and modify your AWS services as declarative YAML files.
The biggest benefit of ACK is that it can effectively bundle your application code and your dependencies. For example, ACK can automate the integration of some AWS managed services (e.g. Amazon Relational Database Service or Lambda).
Use case: Integrating gameplay events with ACK on ROSA
One such example of using ACK in conjunction with a ROSA cluster is that of a video game. In this scenario, the game itself, a leaderboard and leaderboard update may already be in place. However, there are several gameplay events that need to be deployed using a combination of SQS, Lambda, S3, and EventBridge. This can be accomplished by using ACK to bundle these items so they can effectively communicate with each other.
