Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes: Bridging Cloud and On-Premises

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes, a new feature in its Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) portfolio, which allows organizations to maintain their Kubernetes control plane on AWS while running workloads on-premises or at the edge. This hybrid approach provides the benefits of AWS's scalable control plane management combined with the flexibility to run certain workloads locally, addressing needs related to data sovereignty, latency, and existing infrastructure investments. Pulumi, an EKS Service Ready Partner, supports this feature by enabling infrastructure management through its infrastructure as code platform, which allows teams to manage EKS clusters and Kubernetes resources using familiar programming languages. Pulumi's platform also provides secure management of credentials and secrets across hybrid environments and supports automation and operations through its CI/CD capabilities. This integration helps organizations effectively manage hybrid Kubernetes deployments across various environments, including cloud and on-premises setups, while maintaining security and infrastructure automation.
