Amazon EKS cranked up its gear—you can now spin up clusters with a staggering 100,000 nodes at your beck and call. That’s a cozy home for either 1.6 million AWS Trainium chips or 800,000 NVIDIA GPUs. Welcome to the playground for ultra-scale AI/ML.
Performance soars skyward by ditching old etcd consensus and diving into in-memory databases. Watch out for Karpenter: it's got a flair for spinning new static node pools and turbocharging capacity. Deploy at eye-watering speeds: up to 2000 nodes per minute. It's unapologetically fast.
