EKS Auto Mode extends AWS management of Kubernetes clusters beyond the cluster itself, to allow AWS to also set up and manage the infrastructure that enables the smooth operation of your workloads. You can delegate key infrastructure decisions and leverage the expertise of AWS for day-to-day operations. Cluster infrastructure managed by AWS includes many Kubernetes capabilities as core components, as opposed to add-ons, such as compute autoscaling, pod and service networking, application load balancing, cluster DNS, block storage, and GPU support. To get started, you can deploy a new EKS Auto Mode cluster or enable EKS Auto Mode on an existing cluster. You can deploy, upgrade, or modify your EKS Auto Mode clusters using eksctl, the AWS CLI, the AWS Management Console, EKS APIs, or your preferred infrastructure-as-code tools. With EKS Auto Mode, you can continue using your preferred Kubernetes-compatible tools. EKS Auto Mode integrates with AWS services like Amazon EC2, Amazon EBS, and ELB, leveraging AWS cloud resources that follow best practices. These resources are automatically scaled, cost-optimized, and regularly updated to help minimize operational costs and overhead. EKS Auto Mode provides the following high-level features: Streamline Kubernetes Cluster Management : EKS Auto Mode streamlines EKS management by providing production-ready clusters with minimal operational overhead. With EKS Auto Mode, you can run demanding, dynamic workloads confidently, without requiring deep EKS expertise. Application Availability : EKS Auto Mode dynamically adds or removes nodes in your EKS cluster based on the demands of your Kubernetes applications.
