Manage Building an NKP Cluster

A platform engineer is deploying a new Kubernetes application in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

The engineer’s team has chosen to use a custom image rather than the default images AWS or Azure provides for their clusters.

What functionality will the engineer lose in both AWS EKS and Azure AKS by selecting a custom image?

Explanation

Vendor-provided node images include supported integrations and maintenance for managed node scaling and security updates. With a custom image, the team assumes responsibility for supplying and maintaining the required configuration, patched image versions, and associated integrations. Cluster networking, load balancing, storage, GPU support, and external cloud monitoring services can still be configured separately.
