Hello,

Each Amazon EKS cluster control plane is single-tenant and unique, and runs on its own set of Amazon EC2 instances. So even in the same VPC/Customer Account each cluster will get it's own control plane.

This is outline in the documentation here... https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/clusters.html

Hope that helps!

  • So, then: its NOT possible to have multiple clusters on the same Control Plane?

  • From a EKS managed service standpoint, no. Each cluster will be a separate, dedicated control plane. Depending on your use case & needs there are third-party solutions that run on EKS that provide virtual clusters within a single EKS cluster.

Each EKS cluster that you create will have its own unique control plane setup regardless of whether they are running on same VPC or different VPCs.
