Amazon EKS Auto Mode now supports advanced compute configuration
Amazon EKS Auto Mode now lets users set kubelet settings, Linux kernel sysctls, and hugepages through a new advancedCompute field in the NodeClass resource. The settings are applied declaratively via the Kubernetes API, validated, applied at node boot, and kept through scaling and upgrades. The feature is available in all AWS Regions where EKS Auto Mode is offered.
What changes for platform teams
Platform teams can run workloads that need node tuning, such as user namespaces for rootless builds, eviction thresholds, and hugepages, without maintaining EC2 launch templates, custom AMIs, or privileged DaemonSets. Teams running EKS Auto Mode should evaluate whether this replaces their existing node customization.
