Production Kubernetes Cluster Deployment on AWS EKS

Kubernetes orchestrates containerized workloads at scale. When deploying on AWS EKS, configuring node groups, IAM roles, ingress routing, and observability is paramount.

Key Architectural Components

• EKS Control Plane: Managed Kubernetes master nodes with automated failover.
• Managed Node Groups: Auto-scaling EC2 worker nodes across multiple Availability Zones.
• AWS Load Balancer Controller: Provisions Application Load Balancers for ingress.
• Observability Stack: Integrated Prometheus for time-series metrics and Grafana dashboards.

Monitoring Cluster Health

Tracking node memory pressure, pod restarts, and CPU throttling ensures system reliability under traffic bursts.
