Amazon EKS managed node groups now support EC2 Auto Scaling warm pools Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) managed node groups now support Auto Scaling warm pools, enabling you to maintain pre-initialized EC2 instances ready for rapid scale-out. This reduces node provisioning latency for applications with burst traffic patterns, time-sensitive workloads, or long instance boot times due to complex initialization scripts and software dependencies. With warm pools enabled, your EKS managed node group maintains a pool of instances that have already completed OS initialization, user data execution, and software configuration. When demand increases and the Auto Scaling group scales out, instances transition from the warm pool to active service without repeating the full cold-start sequence. You can configure instances in the warm pool as Stopped (lower cost, longer transition) or Running (higher cost, faster transition). You can also enable reuse on scale-in, which returns instances to the warm pool during scale-down instead of terminating them. Warm pools work with Cluster Autoscaler without requiring any additional configuration. You can enable warm pools through the EKS API, AWS CLI, AWS Management Console, or AWS CloudFormation by adding a warmPoolConfig to your CreateNodegroup or UpdateNodegroupConfig requests. Existing managed node groups that do not enable warm pools are unaffected. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon EKS is available, except for the China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. To get started, see the Amazon EKS managed node groups documentation.

🆕 Amazon EKS now supports Auto Scaling warm pools for managed node groups, cutting latency with pre-initialized EC2 instances for rapid scale-out, perfect for burst traffic and time-sensitive workloads. Available worldwide except China (Beijing) and China (Ningxia).

Amazon CloudWatch launches OTel Container Insights for Amazon EKS (Preview) Amazon CloudWatch introduces Container Insights with OpenTelemetry metrics for Amazon EKS, available in public preview. Building on the existing Container Insights experience, this capability provides deeper visibility into EKS clusters by collecting more metrics from widely adopted open source and AWS collectors and sending them to CloudWatch using the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP). Each metric is automatically enriched with up to 150 descriptive labels, including Kubernetes metadata and customer-defined labels such as team, application, or business unit. Curated dashboards in the Container Insights console present cluster, node, and pod health with the ability to aggregate and filter metrics by instance type, availability zone, node group, or any custom label. For deeper analysis, customers can write queries using the Prometheus Query Language (PromQL) in CloudWatch Query Studio. The CloudWatch Observability EKS add-on provides one-click installation through the Amazon EKS console, or can be deployed through CloudFormation, CDK, or Terraform. The add-on automatically detects accelerated compute hardware including NVIDIA GPUs, Elastic Fabric Adapters, and AWS Trainium and Inferentia accelerators. For existing customers of the add-on, CloudWatch supports publishing both OpenTelemetry and existing Container Insights metrics at the same time. Container Insights with OpenTelemetry metrics is available in public preview in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Europe (Ireland). There is no charge for OpenTelemetry metrics from Container Insights during preview. To get started, see the Container Insights with OpenTelemetry metrics for Amazon EKS.

🆕 Amazon CloudWatch previews Container Insights with OpenTelemetry for Amazon EKS, providing enhanced visibility via enriched metrics, Prometheus queries, and easy EKS add-on setup. Available in select regions at no cost.

Amazon EKS announces 99.99% Service Level Agreement and new 8XL scaling tier for Provisioned Control Plane clusters Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) now offers a 99.99% Service Level Agreement (SLA) for clusters running on Provisioned Control Plane, up from the 99.95% SLA offered on standard control plane. Amazon EKS is also introducing the 8XL scaling tier, the largest available Provisioned Control Plane tier. Provisioned Control Plane gives you the ability to select your cluster's control plane capacity from a set of well-defined scaling tiers, ensuring the control plane is pre-provisioned and ready to handle traffic spikes or unpredictable bursts. The higher 99.99% SLA is measured in 1-minute intervals, providing a more granular and stringent availability commitment for mission-critical workloads. The new 8XL tier offers double the Kubernetes API server request processing capacity of the next lower 4XL tier, enabling workloads such as ultra-scale AI/ML training, high-performance computing (HPC), and large-scale data processing. Both the 99.99% SLA and the 8XL tier are available today in all AWS regions where Amazon EKS Provisioned Control Plane is offered. To learn more about the SLA, see the Amazon EKS Service Level Agreement. For 8XL pricing and capabilities, see the EKS pricing and EKS Provisioned Control Plane documentation.

Announcing Amazon EKS Capabilities Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) announces the general availability of EKS Capabilities, a fully-managed extensible set of Kubernetes-native platform features for workload deployment, AWS cloud resource management, and Kubernetes resource composition and orchestration. EKS Capabilities provides out-of-the-box platform features and offloads operations to AWS, improving the performance and security of your platform components. EKS Capabilities streamlines building and scaling with Kubernetes, allowing you to focus on deploying applications rather than maintaining platform infrastructure. These capabilities run in AWS-owned infrastructure separate from your clusters, with AWS handling auto scaling, patching, and upgrading. Application developers get ready-to-use platform capabilities that enable faster workload deployment and scaling across the organization, while platform teams can offload operational tasks to AWS. Three capabilities are available at launch including continuous deployment with Argo CD, AWS resource management through AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK), and dynamic resource orchestration using Kube Resource Orchestrator (KRO). EKS Capabilities is available today in all https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/, except AWS GovCloud (US) and China Regions. To get started with EKS Capabilities, use the EKS API, CLI, eksctl, AWS Console, or your favorite infrastructure as code tooling to enable it in a new or existing EKS cluster. To learn more, visit the EKS Capabilities https://aws.amazon.com/eks/features/, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/capabilities.html, https://aws.amazon.com/eks/pricing/, and AWS News Launch blog.

Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights now supports Neuron UltraServers on Amazon EKS Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights now supports Neuron UltraServers on Amazon EKS, providing enhanced observability for customers running large-scale, high-performance machine learning workloads on multi-instance nodes. This new capability enables data scientists and ML engineers to efficiently monitor and troubleshoot their containerized ML applications, offering aggregated metrics and simplified management across Neuron UltraServer groups. Neuron UltraServers combine multiple EC2 instances into a single logical server unit, optimized for machine learning workloads using AWS Trainium and Inferentia accelerators. Container Insights, a monitoring and diagnostics feature in Amazon CloudWatch, automatically collects metrics from containerized applications. With this launch, Container Insights introduces a new filter specifically for UltraServers in EKS environments. You can now select an UltraServer ID to view new aggregate metrics across all instances within that server, replacing the need to monitor individual instances separately. In addition to per-instance metrics, you can now view consolidated performance data for the entire UltraServer group, streamlining the monitoring of ML workloads running on AWS Neuron. Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights is available in all commercial AWS Regions, and the AWS GovCloud (US). To get started, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/Container-Insights-metrics-enhanced-EKS.html#Container-Insights-metrics-EKS-Neuron in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide
