About AWS VPC CNI

The Amazon VPC CNI plugin for Kubernetes provides pod networking using Elastic Network Interfaces on AWS. It gives every pod a real VPC IP address by managing ENI attachment and IP allocation on each node, so pods communicate directly within the VPC without an overlay network. The chart deploys the aws-node DaemonSet together with the AWS Network Policy Agent, which enforces Kubernetes network policies with eBPF.
