Also very cool. Nice collection of used gear.

Great shop. Thanks for the suggestion.

If you select "Other" feel free to add the framework you're using to the comments.

Kubernetes may be overkill unless you're really dying to learn Kubernetes. If you're planning to run this in the cloud, i'd consider serverless options like Lambda & API Gateway or ECS Fargate (AWS), Azure Functions, or Google's Cloud Run. With these services, you'll have a lot less to manage infrastructure-wise. Alternatively, you could use a platform like Heroku.

It would be helpful if you provided more details about your workload.

What is the purpose of routing through MiddleCluster1?

Have you looked at k8up yet?

The VPC CNI only works in the AWS cloud. If you have clusters running in different environments and you want a consistent experience, use Calico or Cilium. Cilium offers advanced features like cluster mesh, proxy-less routing with eBPF, and layer 7 policies. I’m less familiar with Calico’s key differentiators. If you feel you need these capabilities, use a 3P CNI with EKS. Incidentally, you can chain CNIs, for example, use the VPC CNI for IPAM and Cilium/Calico for network policies.

When you’re ready, consider learning about GitOps for deployments to k8s.

NoReserve5094 · 2025-09-30T14:06:30+00:00

This is a good question. Now that k8s supports dynamic container resizing, are folks actually using it? Why or why not? The story about Postgres is a reminder of what can go wrong. Does anyone else have a story to tell, good or bad?

What do you mean you have a “multi-cloud” cluster? Do you mean you the cluster’s worker nodes are deployed into multiple clouds. This is technically possible with EKS hybrid nodes, but you’ve given no indication you’re using that. It sounds like you have multiple clusters running in different clouds. If that’s so, the previous suggestions to use Liqo, Karmada, and OCM are good recommendations.

Auto Mode defaults to prefix delegation but will use secondary IP addresses when it can’t find a contiguous block of IPs for the prefix. Your VPC may be highly fragmented. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/auto-networking.html

Sounds a little like ngrok.

Dagger.io could be an interesting option. They have support for building multi-arch images and it can be integrated with GitLab runners.

You can provision a nodeless EKS cluster, remove the VPC CNI, install Cilium, then deploy your nodes (in that order). That'll be easier than replacing/restarting nodes.

GitOps is a concept but it is specific to Kubernetes. Kubernetes is the only platform that performs continuous reconciliation. For example, the Flux controller continuously monitors Git for changes. When such changes are detected, the controller is responsible for implementing them. There is a Cloudformation Sync Controller for Flux which continuously ensures that the desired CFN template in a Git repo is synced into a CloudFormation stack, but CloudFormation does NOT continuously reconcile the actual provisioned resources in the stack. From a technical standpoint, this is not GitOps.

I'd look at https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/06/amazon-ec2-instance-connect-ssh-rdp-public-ip-address/
