Step-by-Step Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Cluster Setup with Auto Mode via AWS Console and eksctl | HackerNoon
Briefly

EKS Auto Mode is an enhancement for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) that automates the setup and management of infrastructure for Kubernetes clusters. It includes automated compute scaling, streamlined management with minimal operational overhead, and cost optimization features that consolidate workloads. The service maintains security with regular node replacements, implements networking automation, and prevents direct SSH/SSM access. Customizability through NodePools, AWS service integrations, and a straightforward pricing model with EC2 instance costs and a management fee support effective and efficient cluster operations.
EKS Auto Mode simplifies the operational management of Kubernetes clusters by automating infrastructure setup and management for workloads, including compute, networking, storage, and scaling.
Key features include streamlined management, automated compute/scaling, cost optimization, enhanced security, customizability, and full integration with other AWS services.
