#performance

A benchmark report comparing network and application performance of VPC CNI and Cilium CNI across 5 scenarios (kube-proxy, kube-proxy-less, ENI, tuning) in an EKS environment

Architecture comparison, versioned conformance evidence, reproducible feature and performance test plans, and local validation for Gateway API implementations

Collection of EKS environment performance benchmark reports — Networking, AI/ML Inference, Infrastructure & Operations

EKS cluster infrastructure performance benchmark - Network, DNS, Autoscaling

Detailed parameters by PCP tier, APF seat calculation formulas, large-scale cluster sizing examples, ClusterLoader2 performance validation methodology, customer case studies

Systematically monitor and optimize CoreDNS performance in Amazon EKS. Includes Prometheus metrics, TTL tuning, monitoring architecture, and real-world troubleshooting cases

Deep optimization strategies for minimizing inter-service communication latency and reducing cross-AZ costs in EKS. Covers Topology Aware Routing, InternalTrafficPolicy, Cilium ClusterMesh, AWS VPC Lattice, and Istio multi-cluster

Best practices for DNS optimization, East-West traffic, and Gateway API adoption in EKS environments

AWS Nitro System components, per-generation (v2–v6) networking changes, ENA driver/kernel requirements on EKS nodes, and PPS/CPS-focused performance tuning strategies

Why the same workload shows different CPU utilization across instance sizes and generations, which KPIs to compare instead, where throttling and scheduling wait are observed, a Pod sizing baseline, and how to decide on mixed node pools.

Node provisioning, scaling signals, readiness, and cost validation with Karpenter v1.13 and EKS Auto Mode
