Amazon EKS introduces Provisioned Control Plane

Today, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) introduced Provisioned Control Plane, a new feature that gives you the ability to select your cluster’s control plane capacity to ensure predictable, high performance for the most demanding workloads. With Provisioned Control Plane, you can pre-provision the desired control plane capacity from a set of well-defined scaling tiers, ensuring the control plane is always ready to handle traffic spikes or unpredictable bursts. These new scaling tiers unlock significantly higher cluster performance and scalability, allowing you to run ultra-scale workloads in a single cluster.

Provisioned Control Plane ensures your cluster’s control plane is ready to support workloads that require minimal latency and high performance during anticipated high-demand events like product launches, holiday sales, or major sporting and entertainment events. It also ensures consistent control plane performance across development, staging, production, and disaster recovery environments, so the behavior you observe during testing accurately reflects what you’ll experience in production or during failover events. Finally, it enables you to run massive-scale workloads such as AI training/inference, high-performance computing, or large-scale data processing jobs that require thousands of worker nodes in a single cluster.

To get started with Amazon EKS Provisioned Control Plane, use the EKS APIs, AWS Console, or infrastructure as code tooling to enable it in a new or existing EKS cluster. To learn more about EKS Provisioned Control Plane , visit the EKS Provisioned Control plane documentation and EKS pricing page.
