1. Connect your AWS EKS cluster
2. Configure your optimization preferences
3. Activate the orchestration

Prerequisites

• Harness Kubernetes connector
• Kubernetes version compatibility: Supports v1.16 through v1.31. Note that Kubernetes v1.32 is not currently supported.

note

Important: Kubernetes v1.32 is not currently supported. Please ensure your cluster is running a compatible Kubernetes version.
