Amazon Web Services has launched Amazon EKS Capabilities, a set of fully managed, Kubernetes-native features designed to streamline workload orchestration, AWS cloud resource management, and Kubernetes resource composition and automation. The capabilities, now generally available across most AWS commercial regions, bundle popular open-source tools into a managed platform layer, reducing the operational burden on engineering teams and enabling faster application deployment and scaling on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).

This feature, led by Blake Pettersson from Akuity, allows organizations to store and distribute deployment configurations using the same registries they use for container images. "As OCI registries have more frequently been used to store content aside from container images, more and more projects have been adding support for using OCI as a storage mechanism," the announcement explains. The OCI support enhances security and portability by enabling Argo CD to pull Kubernetes manifests packaged as OCI artifacts from any OCI-compliant registry

A new platform named kubriX has been launched into the developer community, claiming to create a fully functional Internal Developer Platform (IDP) without extensive custom development. The platform, developed by contributors including developer advocate Artem Lajko, who has written an extensive post about it, integrates established tools such as Argo CD, Kargo, Backstage, and Keycloak into what its creators describe as a ready-to-use solution for teams seeking to implement a modern IDP.
