EKS Hybrid Nodes

Palette supports management of Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes. Using Palette to manage Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes provides the following benefits:

• Easier Setup: Palette automates the process of setting up and connecting on-prem devices (bare metal or virtual machines) to EKS clusters, reducing the need for manual configuration.

• Centralized Management: Palette offers a single interface to manage the lifecycle of EKS Hybrid Nodes, ensuring consistent control over Kubernetes resources across on-prem, edge, and AWS environments.

• Improved Recovery Options: Palette supports managing multiple edge sites under a single control plane, making it easier to move workloads to other sites in case of hardware or site failures.

Using Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes also reduces resource usage at edge locations by operating the control plane in AWS instead of at each edge site. This minimizes CPU, memory, and storage device wear on edge hosts while leaving more capacity for workloads.
