https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ I am pleased to announce the availability of local clusters for https://aws.amazon.com/eks/ on https://aws.amazon.com/outposts/. It means that starting today, you can deploy your https://aws.amazon.com/eks/ cluster entirely on Outposts: both the Kubernetes control plane and the nodes.

To fully understand the benefits of local clusters for https://aws.amazon.com/eks/ on Outposts, I need to first share a bit of background.

Until today, when you deployed Kubernetes applications on Outposts, you typically started by creating an https://aws.amazon.com/eks/ cluster in the AWS cloud.

Creating Cluster Before deploying the https://aws.amazon.com/eks/ local cluster on Outposts, I make sure I created an IAM cluster role and attached the AmazonEKSLocalOutpostClusterPolicy managed policy.
