Description

Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) does not contain any cluster nodes, and therefore does not support some native Kubernetes features that depend on nodes, kubelet, and kube-proxy.

Unsupported Native Kubernetes Features

Kubernetes versions

EKS does not support Kubernetes version 1.12 and earlier.

Nodes

You cannot add or manage physical nodes through EKS.

Workloads

• You cannot deploy workloads of the DaemonSet type through EKS.
• You cannot use hostPath volumes through EKS.

Services

You cannot deploy services of the NodePort type through EKS.

Volumes

You cannot use Linux filesystem events with inotify, which is a feature of emptyDir volumes.
