What is AWS EKS?

Building, protecting, running, and managing Kubernetes clusters on AWS is made simpler by the fully-managed, certified Kubernetes conformant solution known as Amazon Elastic Kubernetes solution (Amazon EKS). For monitoring, scaling, and load balancing your containerized applications, Amazon EKS interfaces with fundamental AWS services like CloudWatch, Auto Scaling Groups, and IAM.

Additionally integrated with AWS App Mesh, Amazon EKS offers a Kubernetes-native experience for service mesh consumption and gives applications strong observability, traffic management, and security capabilities. For Kubernetes workloads, Amazon EKS offers a scalable, highly available control plane. As with Amazon ECS, you have the option to use EC2 instances or AWS Fargate to power your containers while executing apps on Amazon EKS.
