This demo explores how AWS evolved Kubernetes management by building EKS Auto Mode on open source Karpenter's core principles of efficient node provisioning and intelligent scheduling. We'll demonstrate how Karpenter's fundamental capabilities - rapid node provisioning, bin-packing optimization, and dynamic instance selection - serve as the foundation for EKS Auto Mode's enhanced automation. By leveraging these battle-tested components, EKS Auto Mode extends Karpenter's decision-making engine to automatically handle provisioner configuration, instance diversity, and scaling policies, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The presentation showcases practical examples of how this architectural continuity maintains Karpenter's performance benefits while further reducing operational complexity. Finally, we'll discuss our efforts to strengthen open-source integration, making these advanced capabilities more accessible to the broader Kubernetes community.
