Spectro Cloud announced that it is a launch partner for the new Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes feature debuting at AWS re:Invent 2024.
“With EKS Hybrid Nodes and the power of our Palette platform, we can now truly offer customers an easy to manage, unified EKS environment from edge to cloud.”
EKS Hybrid Nodes is a new feature in Amazon EKS, which enables EKS Kubernetes clusters to span from the AWS cloud to on-premises data centers and edge locations.

Spectro Cloud’s Palette Kubernetes management platform helps enterprises to easily provision and manage the complete lifecycle of their hybrid nodes and EKS clusters simply, securely and at scale.
Hybrid use cases are on the rise
Enterprises are looking for hybrid infrastructure to support today’s dynamic, distributed and resource-intensive application workloads. With EKS Hybrid Nodes, organizations have the benefit of operating the Kubernetes control plane in the cloud, with worker nodes stretching across one or more on-prem edge and data center locations. This enables them to:
- Leverage specialist on-prem infrastructure, such as GPUs to power AI/ML applications
- Improve disaster recovery, by rescheduling workloads in the event of a site failure
- Access extra on-demand capacity by ‘cloudbursting’ from fully utilized on-prem sites into the AWS cloud
AWS brings the control plane, Palette manages the rest
As part of today’s launch, Spectro Cloud Palette now fully supports hybrid nodes with EKS, enabling organizations to automate the bootstrapping and onboarding of bare metal servers and VMs as nodes into the hybrid cluster at scale, a task that would otherwise be highly manual.
Palette also provides full lifecycle management for EKS Hybrid Nodes, including challenging common tasks such as upgrades, from a single interface that spans all their Kubernetes resources.
“Hybrid architectures present opportunities across all kinds of use cases, but can also include so many layers of complexity,” said Saad Malik, co-founder and CTO of Spectro Cloud. “With EKS Hybrid Nodes and the power of our Palette platform, we can now truly offer customers an easy to manage, unified EKS environment from edge to cloud.”
Automated fleet management for EKS customers
This announcement builds on the existing relationship between AWS and Spectro Cloud, which earlier this year announced a record five AWS competencies and other recognitions as an AWS partner.
Spectro Cloud Palette is increasingly the choice of AWS customers, who use it to automate how they provision and manage the full lifecycle of Kubernetes clusters in EC2 and EKS, at scale. Customers see Palette as a way to onramp to EKS more quickly, and set themselves up for efficient day-to-day cluster fleet management.
“Hybrid cloud architectures have a huge appeal for many of the enterprise customers I talk with every day, from retail to pharmaceuticals,” said Jared Cheney, Vice President of Services, North America for SoftwareOne. “With Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes and Spectro Palette, I can now offer those customers the best of both worlds: the convenience and scalability of cloud, with the control and performance of on-prem. This is a game-changer for Kubernetes.”
