Amazon (AWS) | Software Development Engineers | REMOTE | Americas | Full-time Hi HN, my team is hiring engineers to work on EKS Anywhere, a new deployment option for EKS, Amazon's Kubernetes offering. EKS Anywhere allows customers to create and operate k8s clusters on customer-managed infrastructure, supported by AWS. My team is working on EKS Distro (https://github.com/aws/eks-distro), an open source Kubernetes distribution that powers EKS. You'll join a small but growing remote team of friendly and very smart people working in one of the most exciting spaces right now. Experience with Golang, k8s, containers, orchestration, distributed systems, infrastructure-as-code preferred but not required. https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/2048798/software-development...

Watch out, it's currently only 1.18: https://github.com/aws/eks-distro#releases I haven't tried running it, but there doesn't seem to be any special sauce beyond their use of normal kops, which means it's still caveat clusterator for keeping etcd membership in good health (by far the biggest risk to self-hosting k8s) Maybe that means their objective is actually closer to "EKS-flavored kind" than "run your own EKS"
