Amazon EKS

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a managed AWS service that enables running Kubernetes clusters without the need to set up and maintain your own control plane. AWS automatically handles scaling, availability, and updates for Kubernetes control plane nodes, letting you focus on deploying and managing applications.

Amazon EKS integrates with other AWS services such as Amazon EC2, AWS Fargate, Amazon ECR, and AWS IAM, offering flexible container deployment, image management, and access control. It supports application portability between on-premises and cloud environments through compliance with the open Kubernetes standard.

The service ensures high availability and security with monitoring, automated security updates, and adherence to best practices for production environments.
