Organizations are increasingly adopting Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes as they migrate and modernize applications across cloud and on-premises environments. Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes enables users to integrate their on-premises and edge computing infrastructure with EKS clusters as remote nodes. This creates a unified Kubernetes management experience across distributed environments while addressing latency, compliance, and data residency requirements.
However, managing hybrid Kubernetes networking between the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) and on-premises nodes can be challenging, often requiring network changes and coordination between Kubernetes platform teams and network infrastructure teams. A common architecture requirement for EKS Hybrid Nodes is to make on-premises pod networks routable across hybrid networks, which some customers cannot achieve due to constraints like overlapping IP addresses or complex…
