This time, EKS Auto Mode is truly a great game changer for operations personnel!!!Through managed services like:
- CoreDNS
- KubeProxy
- AWS Load Balancer Controller
- Karpenter
- AWS EBS CSI Driver
Operations personnel no longer need to worry about maintaining CoreDNS and KubeProxy...
When more resources are needed, the managed Karpenter responds quickly, helping you create node claims and generate your data plane nodes, offering greater flexibility and faster startup times!!!
When external services need to be provided, the managed AWS Load Balancer Controller allows you to simply define the ingress class and ingress to quickly create ALB/NLB.
If additional persistent volumes (PV) are required, the managed AWS EBS CSI Driver helps you generate EBS for use as PV!!!
With so many managed services, it surprisingly does not occupy any IPs from your subnet!!! (coredns etc...)

  • You can find some event from Karpenter from default namespace.
  • Enable EKS auto mode, will default create
    • nodepool.karpenter.sh/general-purpose
    • nodepool.karpenter.sh/system
    • nodeclass.eks.amazonaws.com/default
    • for your cluster.
  • Create the nginx pod on EKS auto mode cluster.
For this new feature of EKS, I just want to say Amazon Web Services (AWS), well done!!!
