You want to optimize IP address usage in your EKS cluster using the VPC CNI plugin. Which approach helps reduce IP consumption per node?
ADisable the VPC CNI plugin and use Calico networking
BIncrease the number of worker nodes without changing subnet size
CAssign static IPs to pods manually
DEnable prefix delegation to assign multiple IPs per ENI
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand prefix delegation in VPC CNI

    Prefix delegation allows assigning multiple IP addresses per ENI, improving IP utilization efficiency.
  2. Step 2: Evaluate other options

    Increasing nodes without subnet change does not reduce IP use; disabling VPC CNI changes networking; manual static IPs are impractical.
  3. Final Answer:

    Enable prefix delegation to assign multiple IPs per ENI -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Prefix delegation = better IP use per ENI [OK]
Quick Trick: Prefix delegation packs more IPs per ENI, saving IPs [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking more nodes reduce IP usage
  • Disabling VPC CNI without replacement
  • Trying manual static IP assignment
