Join AWS for an exclusive demo to see how we're making Kubernetes cluster management as simple as it is powerful
Karpenter to EKS Auto Mode: Building a Smarter Kubernetes Foundation
Time: Wednesday, April 2, 11.15 am BST to 11.35 am BST
Location: Sponsor Demo Theatre Located in Solutions Showcase
Speaker: Rajdeep Saha, Principal Solutions Architect, AWS
This demo explores how AWS evolved Kubernetes management by building EKS Auto Mode on open source Karpenter's core principles of efficient node provisioning and intelligent scheduling. We'll demonstrate how Karpenter's fundamental capabilities - rapid node provisioning, bin-packing optimization, and dynamic instance selection - serve as the foundation for EKS Auto Mode's enhanced automation. By leveraging these battle-tested components, EKS Auto Mode extends Karpenter's decision-making engine to automatically handle provisioner configuration, instance diversity, and scaling policies, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The presentation showcases practical examples of how this architectural continuity maintains Karpenter's performance benefits while further reducing operational complexity. Finally, we'll discuss our efforts to strengthen open-source integration, making these advanced capabilities more accessible to the broader Kubernetes community.
