EKS Anywhere, cluster autoscaling and node group aware topologies
This article is part of the EKS Anywhere series EKS Anywhere., extending the Hybrid cloud momentum
In the current decade, customers are being benefited with a variety of on-premises/colocation based as-a-service flexible consumption models, e.g., Dell APEX wherein they can optimize their technology spend based on baseline plus on-demand buffer capacity.
In addition, there is a plethora of Data on Kubernetes services that are being offered via Enterprise operators or community-based projects. These data services explicitly need an assurance from the underlying abstractions to place the workloads in worker nodes that require a varied strategy than the regular workloads used for stateless applications.
In this blog we will demo and explore the technological aspects of EKS Anywhere to support Auto-scaling and node groups. Such potential technology configurations if rightfully combined with powerful flexible consumption models can unearth significant cloud like experiences for customers.
Please note that this is purely a technical configuration related content. However, it is up to the imagination of the reader for extrapolating technical and business benefits via its implementation.
The video showcases a complete walkthrough of how EKS Anywhere clusters can be enabled with Auto-scaling and Node groups for targeted workload deployments
Steps to execute:
The entire procedure as seen in the above video is documented within the associated github repo sub-directory
That’s it for now. Hope you enjoyed the read and understood how EKS Anywhere can be configured with Node groups and Autoscaling.
cheers,
