# Overview

Worker nodes in an Amazon EKS Cluster will operate either in a public or a private subnet. If the subnet’s traffic does not have a default route through an Internet Gateway, this subnet is considered to be private. There are three ways to configure the VPC for your Amazon EKS cluster:

**Only Public Subnets**  
Worker Nodes and Ingress resources (like load balancers) all are instantiated in the same public subnets.

**Only Public and Private Subnets**  
Worker Nodes are instantiated in private subnets and ingress resources (like load balancers) are instantiated in the public subnets.

**Only Private Subnets**  
There are no public ingress resources as this configuration is only used for workloads that do not need to receive any communications from the public internet.

## Defaults

If nothing is specified, Rafay will automatically create a new VPC and required subnets with the following defaults. Cluster administrators can optionally override these defaults.

**VPC CIDR**  
192.168.0.0/16

**VPC NAT Mode**  
Single

## Custom

Users can also specify existing VPC and Public and Private subnets.

## View Configuration

Once an Amazon EKS cluster has been provisioned by the controller, admins can view and perform a few actions on the cluster's details by selecting the "Configuration" tab.

### Add Managed Addons

To add EKS managed Addons, click **Add** and select the required addon from the drop-down. Currently, there are four (4) [EKS managed addons](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/eks-add-ons.html). Optionally, provide Service Account Role ARN or Attach Policy ARNs and click **Save**

### View VPC

To view VPC, Subnet details, etc associated with the EKS cluster, click on "View More".
