EPISODE


In this episode of Containers from the Couch, Abhay Saxena joins the show to talk about the newly released support for Amazon Memory DB in AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK). Essentially, you can define and configure MemoryDB directly from your Kubernetes cluster, leveraging the Kubernetes control loop to manage the lifecycle of your MemoryDB instances.

Amazon MemoryDB now supports natively storing and accessing data in the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format, in addition to the data structures included in Redis OSS. You can simplify developing applications by using the built-in commands designed and optimized for JSON documents. MemoryDB supports partial JSON document updates, as well as powerful searching and filtering using the JSONPath query language.
