Q13
Explain EKS architecture.
💬Answer
Amazon EKS manages the Kubernetes control plane across multiple AWS Availability Zones (AZs) to ensure high availability:
- Control Plane: EKS automatically provisions, scales, and manages three control plane nodes (
kube-apiserverandetcdmembers) across three AZs behind an internal NLB. - Data Plane (Worker Nodes): Customers run worker nodes (EC2 VMs or serverless Fargate pods) in their own subnets, communicating with the API Server load balancer.
