Karpenter, an open source CNCF project, is a flexible, high-performance Kubernetes cluster auto-scaler built with AWS. It helps improve application availability and cluster efficiency by rapidly launching right-sized compute resources in response to changing application load.

Kubernetes makes building and running complex applications simpler, but using Kubernetes comes with a unique set of challenges, such as security, networking, interoperability, storage, and scaling.

In this chalk talk, discover how to adopt various architectures to build and deploy workloads on Amazon EKS. When deploying workloads into a cluster, there are different automation choices from CI/CD pipelines, IaC tools like Terraform and CDK, and GitOps patterns with Argo CD or Flux.
