Here is a detailed summary of the video transcription in markdown format:
Key Takeaways
- Customers face challenges in running hybrid environments - on-premises and cloud workloads with different operational models and skill requirements
- Kubernetes has become a standard platform, but managing Kubernetes control planes on-premises is still challenging
- AWS provides various solutions to address hybrid and edge use cases:
- Amazon EKS on AWS Outposts
- Amazon EKS Anywhere
- Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes
Amazon EKS on AWS Outposts
- Extends the EKS control plane running in the AWS cloud to customer on-premises data centers
- Two deployment options:
- Extended clusters: EKS control plane in the cloud, nodes on Outposts
- Local clusters: EKS control plane on Outposts for disconnected environments
Amazon EKS Anywhere
- Enables customers to deploy Kubernetes clusters on their own hardware and virtualized environments
- Provides a complete stack of components:
- Infrastructure providers (bare metal, virtualized)
- EKS distribution of Kubernetes
- Cluster lifecycle management and operations
- Curated add-on packages
- Supports multiple deployment options (single cluster, management + workload clusters)
- Allows declarative cluster management and cellular cluster management
Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes
- Allows running Kubernetes nodes on customer-managed hardware and attaching them to the EKS control plane running in the cloud
- Offloads operational responsibility for the Kubernetes control plane to AWS
- Customers can continue using their on-premises hardware while benefiting from the managed EKS control plane
- Supports networking configuration to enable communication between the cloud control plane and on-premises nodes/pods
- Best practices:
- Automate node bootstrap using the
node-adm
tool
- Create clusters in the closest AWS region for low latency
- Leverage compatible EKS add-ons for monitoring, logging, and identity management
- Work closely with networking and security teams to ensure necessary connectivity and security rules
Learning More about Amazon EKS
- Attend other sessions at re:Invent on the Kubernetes track and the Hybrid/Edge track
- Take the Amazon EKS workshop, review the best practices guide, and explore the EKS Hybrid documentation
- Access session materials and recordings after re:Invent
