Migrate to Amazon EKS: Data plane cost modeling with Karpenter and KWOK

In this post, we demonstrate how to use Karpenter and KWOK to simulate Kubernetes migrations to Amazon EKS, enabling organizations to estimate compute costs before actual migration. The solution involves creating a test environment, backing it up with Velero, restoring it in a new EKS cluster, and analyzing Karpenter’s node provisioning decisions to build accurate cost estimates.
