One Amazon EKS, many edges: How to choose your edge container strategy on AWS
AWS published a guide on running Amazon EKS as one standard across many edge locations, with the deployment model chosen per site. The post proposes a two-step method: first check whether a site has a reliable connection to an AWS Region, then choose between EKS Hybrid Nodes, EKS on Outposts, or EKS Anywhere based on existing infrastructure. It also lists pricing for each model and notes that Windows workloads are supported only on Outposts.
