Deploying HAQM EKS Windows managed node groups
Introduction To help customers run their Windows applications in a more streamlined manner, we launched the support for HAQM EKS Managed Node Group (MNG) support for Windows containers on December 15, 2022. HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) MNGs automate the provisioning and lifecycle management of nodes (HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud [HAQM EC2] instances) for […]
Seamlessly migrate workloads from EKS self-managed node group to EKS-managed node groups
HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS) managed service makes it easy to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install, operate, and maintain your own Kubernetes control plane. When HAQM EKS was made generally available in 2018, it supported self-managed node groups. With self-managed node groups, customers are responsible for configuring the HAQM Elastic Compute […]
Leveraging HAQM EKS managed node group with placement group for low latency critical applications
Our customers have been asking how to host their low-latency applications with high throughput such as stock-trading applications and financial market workloads on HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (HAQM EKS), particularly with the EKS managed node group offering. In this blog post, we introduce the concept of HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) placement groups, and […]
Catching up with Managed Node Groups in HAQM EKS

It can handle automatic container placement, scale up and down, and provision resources for your containers to run. While Kubernetes can take care of many things, it can’t solve problems it doesn’t know about. Usually these are called unknown unknowns and […]
Introducing launch template and custom AMI support in HAQM EKS Managed Node Groups
HAQM Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) now supports EC2 Launch Templates and custom AMIs for managed node groups. When combined, these new features provide flexible configuration and customization options for HAQM EC2 instances which are managed as Kubernetes nodes by EKS. This enables you to leverage the simplicity of managed node provisioning and lifecycle management features […]
