AWS Container Day - Customizing Managed Node Groups

[@Vinod_Kumar827]

Great session. I have a question here, let's say I have an AWS EKS cluster provisioned with the launch configuration with instance type as t3.medium (for example) then can I create a new version of Launch Template with a new instance type as c5.xlarge to create new managed node groups in the same cluster? If yes then will my existing pods will get drained to new node group from older one automatically as well?

hmm not to be picky but if you run a tutorial for something you do not say: "...we have to create, actually I have created it already..." etc etc... As this is the point where most of people who does not know eks will stop watching.

EKS makes me dumb. Worst kubernetes distro ever.
