This topic provides an overview of the available options and describes what to consider when you add, change, or remove the hybrid nodes configuration for an Amazon EKS cluster. To enable an Amazon EKS cluster to use hybrid nodes, add the IP address CIDR ranges of your on-premises node and optionally pod network in the RemoteNetworkConfig configuration. EKS uses this list of CIDRs to enable connectivity between the cluster and your on-premises networks. For a full list of options when updating your cluster configuration, see the UpdateClusterConfig in the Amazon EKS API Reference. RemoteNetworkConfig You can do any of the following actions to the EKS Hybrid Nodes networking configuration in a cluster: Add remote network configuration to enable EKS Hybrid Nodes in an existing cluster. Add remote network configuration to enable EKS Hybrid Nodes in an existing cluster. Add, change, or remove the remote node networks or the remote pod networks in an existing cluster. Remove all remote node network CIDR ranges to disable EKS Hybrid Nodes in an existing cluster. Before enabling your Amazon EKS cluster for hybrid nodes, ensure your environment meets the requirements outlined at Prerequisite setup for hybrid nodes , and detailed at Prepare networking for hybrid nodes , Prepare operating system for hybrid nodes , and Prepare credentials for hybrid nodes. Your cluster must use IPv4 address family. Your cluster must use either API or API_AND_CONFIG_MAP for the cluster authentication mode.
