Summary
In this chapter, we started learning about Amazon EKS-optimized Windows AMIs and their components; then, we learned about EKS Windows bootstrap and its parameters. Next, we dove deep into how the SMB CSI driver works on Amazon EC2 Windows nodes and Amazon FSx for Windows File Service. Finally, we reviewed the code snippets on deploying a heterogeneous Amazon EKS cluster with a Windows node group.
The next chapter will discuss how to schedule a Windows pod, its best practices, and how to integrate the Windows pods with Active Directory using group managed service accounts (gMSA).
