Announcing wildcard support in Amazon EKS Fargate Profile Selectors

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) now allows you to more easily run workloads from various Kubernetes namespaces on AWS Fargate serverless compute with a single EKS Fargate Profile. Using Amazon EKS on AWS Fargate enables you to use Kubernetes without having to worry about compute infrastructure configuration and maintenance. Previously, you had to specify all the namespaces at the time you created the EKS Fargate Profile and were limited to a total of 5 namespace selectors or label pairs.

Many customers use the same Kubernetes cluster, but different namespaces for each team or application. With Fargate Profile selector wildcards, you can use simple wildcard characters, like * and ?, to specify that Kubernetes workloads in any matching namespace or with any matching label should run on Fargate serverless compute. For example, you can specify that all Kubernetes pods in any namespace matching *-staging run on Fargate. This namespace selector would match both my-team-staging and other-team-staging, since * matches any number of characters, including none.
