Jan Ludvik on how he cut EKS node startup from 65 to 45 seconds and reduced P90 pod startup by 30 seconds across ~1,000 nodes.

You will learn:

- Why Kubelet's serial image pull default quietly blocks pod startup, and how parallel pulls fix it
- How EBS lazy loading can silently negate image caching in AMIs — and the critical path workaround
- A Lambda-based automation that temporarily boosts EBS throughput during startup, then reverts to save cost
- The kubelet metrics and logs that expose pod and node startup latency, most teams never monitor
