EKS & GKE Max Pods per Node Calculator

Work out real per-node pod capacity instead of guessing from a generic default.

Max Pods per Node

EKS · GKE

Instance Type

Enable prefix delegation (16x pod density per ENI slot)

Max Pods per Node

Formula: N × (M − 1) + 2, where N = max ENIs, M = IPv4 addresses per ENI (AWS documentation).

Apply each platform's documented max-pods formula to a chosen instance type or pod count.

An EKS instance type (or ENI/IP profile) or a GKE max-pods-per-node target.

Maximum pods per node and, for GKE, the resulting alias IP block size.

Check max pods for an m5.xlarge EKS node, with and without prefix delegation.
