Announcing Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes

Today, AWS announces the general availability of Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) Hybrid Nodes. With Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes, you can use your on-premises and edge infrastructure as nodes in Amazon EKS clusters. Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes unifies Kubernetes management across environments and offloads Kubernetes control plane management to AWS for your on-premises and edge applications.

You can now manage Kubernetes applications running on-premises and in edge environments to meet low-latency, local data processing, regulatory, or policy requirements using the same Amazon EKS clusters, features, and tools as applications running in AWS Cloud. Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes works with any on-premises hardware or virtual machines, bringing the efficiency, scalability, and availability of Amazon EKS to wherever your applications need to run. You can use a wide range of Amazon EKS features with Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes including Amazon EKS add-ons, EKS Pod Identity, cluster access management, cluster insights, and extended Kubernetes version support. Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes is natively integrated with various AWS services including AWS Systems Manager, AWS IAM Roles Anywhere, Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, Amazon CloudWatch, and Amazon GuardDuty for centralized monitoring, logging, and identity management.

Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes is available in all AWS Regions, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions. Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes is currently available for new Amazon EKS clusters. With Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes, there are no upfront commitments or minimum fees, and you are charged per hour for the vCPU resources of your hybrid nodes when they are attached to your Amazon EKS clusters.
