EKS Auto Mode is a new deployment option in Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) that automates infrastructure provisioning and scaling, eliminating the need to manage EC2 nodes. It incorporates many Kubernetes capabilities directly into infrastructure managed by AWS, including compute autoscaling, networking for pods and services, load balancing for applications, cluster DNS, block storage, and GPU support. EKS Auto Mode simplifies Kubernetes operations by treating core infrastructure as a managed service, automating key elements such as cluster controllers, EC2 compute provisioning, load balancing via ELB, and persistent storage using EBS. It also provides dynamic scaling and resource optimization, enhanced security measures, automated upgrades and patching, cost optimization, and security and compliance features. By offloading cluster operations to AWS, EKS Auto Mode enables development teams to concentrate on building and improving applications rather than managing infrastructure. The service reduces operational overhead, accelerates deployment cycles, and improves scalability, making it ideal for growing cloud-native teams.
