📌 Description
Seamless Spot-to-Fargate Orchestration is a Kubernetes controller built specifically for Amazon EKS that guarantees zero downtime during EC2 Spot interruptions.
It automatically detects Spot termination events, migrates workloads to AWS Fargate to maintain availability, and seamlessly shifts them back to Spot instances once capacity becomes available — combining cost efficiency with production-grade reliability.
💡 Key Features
-
🛡 Zero Downtime During Spot Interruptions
Proactively detects Spot interruption notices and drains affected nodes before termination. -
🔄 Automatic Failover to Fargate
Reschedules workloads instantly onto Fargate profiles to maintain service continuity. -
🔁 Intelligent Failback to Spot
Automatically rebalances workloads back to Spot nodes when capacity returns. -
⚙️ EKS-Native Design
Purpose-built for Amazon EKS clusters. -
💰 Cost Optimization Without Risk
Enables aggressive Spot usage without compromising availability.
🎯 Why This Adds Value to awesome-k8s-resources
This controller solves a common operational challenge for teams running Kubernetes on AWS: balancing Spot cost savings with high availability.
It provides:
- Automated Spot interruption handling
- Seamless fallback to Fargate
- Zero manual intervention
- Optimized cost-performance balance
It would be a valuable addition under EKS-specific tools.
