Deploying a Windows Node Group
In this chapter, we’ll learn how a self-managed Windows node and its components work inside and out. We will first learn about the available EKS-optimized Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) for Windows, then we will dive deep into Amazon EKS Windows nodes, followed by available container runtimes and best practices. Finally, we will deploy a heterogenous Amazon EKS cluster.
The chapter will cover the following topics:
- Amazon EKS node groups
- Amazon EKS-optimized Windows AMIs
- Understanding the EKS Windows bootstrap
- Working with persistent storage using CSI drivers
- Deploying an Amazon EKS cluster with a Windows node group using Terraform
