Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service Unifies & Monitors Across Hybrid Clouds
Cloud Native Now, Friday, December 6th, 2024
AWS used its re:Invent 2024 conference this month to explain how users can now run their on-premises infrastructure in Amazon EKS clusters using Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes.
So does that mean private on-premises cloud being 'encouraged' to use the public cloud unified management technologies offered by Amazon EKS clusters (a service designed to help organizations select, install and configure third-party Kubernetes software) in Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes?
It does, but that's not as 'come one and all to hyperscale' as it might sound. Amazon EKS clusters enable cloud-native development teams to run containerized applications using the Kubernetes platform without having to manage the underlying infrastructure of the Kubernetes control plane, so there is freedom to grasp here if it's done right.
