Instance Store in EKS

Question

How do I access the instance storage on EKS nodes? e.g. If my Pod images are very large, instead of having large EBS volumes, I keep it to the bare minimum and make sure pod images are stored on the instance store (which in quite large for G-instances). Or create a PVC with the volume being located on the instance storage. Note that these two are different scenarios.

Hello,

Use a container image registry like Docker Hub or Amazon ECR to store your container images. This is the recommended approach for managing images in production environments.In your pod spec (YAML file), reference the image location from the registry using the image field.

please look at AWS Documment you will get more information.

To access instance storage on EKS nodes, you can use persistent volumes for instance store. This allows you to use the instance store for your pod images instead of relying on large EBS volumes. Detailed steps and configurations can be found in the AWS documentation.
