Preparing the Cluster for OS Interoperability
In this chapter, we will learn about the configurations that need to be in place to successfully operate a heterogeneous Amazon EKS cluster. First, we will understand the options available to set up the VPC CNI plugin for Windows. Next, we will learn how to use taints, tolerations, and node selectors to avoid pod-scheduling disruption between Windows and Linux. At the end, we will learn about the auto-scaling options available to dynamically scale out Windows pods.
The chapter will cover the following topics:
- Setting up the VPC CNI plugin for Windows support
- Avoiding pod-scheduling disruption
- Dynamically scaling out Windows pods
