Hi there, I will deploy and configure your three bare-metal EKS Anywhere clusters — Production HO, Production DR, and Test/Dev — across all 38 nodes, handle RHEL 9.7 imaging with NIC bonding, VLAN routing, and the on-prem image registry, then provide one year of post-go-live support. For a mission-critical trading platform with active-active DC/DR at 1ms latency, I will design the network bonding in 802.3ad LACP mode across the three 10G NICs and configure dedicated VLAN trunks for control-plane traffic versus data-plane traffic — isolating Kubernetes API and etcd communication from Nasdaq application traffic to minimize jitter during high-volume trading windows. Questions: 1) What is the current switch fabric — are both sites on the same vendor (e.g., Arista, Cisco Nexus) with MLAG or vPC support? Looking forward to discussing further. Best regards, Kamran

Hi, I can help you with this EKS Anywhere deployment across your three clusters. Running 38 bare-metal nodes with network bonding across 10G NICs and VLAN segmentation for a trading platform is serious work, and the active-active DC/DR setup with 1ms latency tells me there's zero room for error. I've done bare-metal Kubernetes deployments at similar scale before, including the RHEL imaging, bond configuration, and ongoing zero-downtime patching cycles. Working alongside the Nasdaq team for the application layer is something I'm comfortable with too. I'm Edward, 10 plus years in DevOps and infrastructure. Happy to chat through the phasing and how I'd approach the rollout.

Hi, good day. Deploying a mission-critical Nasdaq trading platform on bare-metal EKS Anywhere clusters faces the critical technical challenge of eliminating network packet drops and split-brain scenarios across your Active-Active DC/DR setup while ensuring sub-millisecond Kubernetes API routing over your 3-NIC bonded network. With my extensive experience architecting high-frequency financial trading infrastructure and production-grade on-premises Kubernetes deployments, I am perfectly positioned to deliver this high-availability environment. The technical solution will begin with executing the bare-metal provisioning of RHEL 9.7 with LACP active-active bonding, followed by deploying the EKS Anywhere administrative management nodes and local container registries. Next, I will provision the Production HO, Production DR, and Test/Dev clusters across the 38 nodes, ensuring PostgreSQL 16.11 replication lines and OpenJDK runtimes are optimized for ultra-low latency. Finally, I will collaborate directly with Nasdaq engineers to deploy the trading containers, validate automated VLAN failover paths, and establish an immutable, zero-downtime rolling patch strategy for the one-year support cycle. I am fully confident that this rigorous methodology will result in a bulletproof, compliant, and highly performant trading infrastructure. Let's communicate further to discuss the network topology details and specific security baselines required by Nasdaq for this deployment.
