Self-healing GPU nodes in Kubernetes: What we learned building the EKS node monitoring agent

Short summary

The article details lessons learned building a self-healing node monitoring agent for GPU nodes running on Amazon EKS at scale. At large Kubernetes deployments, GPU nodes frequently drop off the PCIe bus, requiring automated detection and remediation. The piece shares practical engineering insights from building infrastructure to keep GPU-heavy clusters operational.
