Cluster software managed as Amazon EKS add-ons through the EKS API Left, Ana from the platform team with the AWS CLI, and an on-premises corp DNS server. An AWS account holds the Amazon EKS API, the add-on versions tested for a Kubernetes version, the IAM role shop-prod-ebs-csi and the Amazon EC2 API. Cluster shop-prod has its control plane, node group ng-general and namespace kube-system with vpc-cni, kube-proxy, aws-ebs-csi-driver, coredns, eks-pod-identity-agent and metrics-server, plus Pod checkout.
