Add AWS module as "alpha". Its not mature like the others (which I've used for years), but the basics are there:

  • Basic control plane
  • Pod-to-pod networking
    • Flannel (900-1000 MB/s pod-to-pod, varies)
    • Calico (~350MB/s with MTU 1480, 900-1000MB/s pod-to-pod with MTU to 8981)
  • BGP Peering
  • Load balanced apiserver, ingress
  • Firewalls
  • IPv6
  • Change Launch Configuration -> Rollout
  • kubectl (usual suspects)
    • logs
    • port-forward
    • exec
  • Nice node names (haven't decided what's desired here yet)

Addons

  • Nginx Ingress
  • Dashboard
  • Heapster
  • CLUO

Comments / Areas to Improve

  • AWS networking in rather subpar compared with Google Cloud. Lower peak bandwidth and varies wildly.
  • AWS provisioning is much slower because of the DNS -> ELB -> ASG setup (i.e. 10-20 min). As part of deprecating self-hosted etcd, controllers will be statically provisioned and this will be sped up greatly.
  • Cluster deletion is also much slower than other platforms (i.e. 8 min). Feels sluggish.
  • Kubernetes AWS integrations aren't enabled. I'll get to them, just not a major priority since my workloads are agnostic.
