Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a managed service that simplifies running Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install and operate your own Kubernetes control plane or nodes. EKS automatically provisions and manages the Kubernetes infrastructure, ensuring your clusters are up-to-date with the latest Kubernetes version. With EKS, users can leverage the full power of AWS, making it easier to scale applications and manage services with high availability and security features built-in.

Key features of EKS include seamless integration with AWS services like AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) for secure access controls, Amazon CloudWatch for monitoring, and Amazon Elastic Load Balancing for traffic management. EKS is particularly beneficial for organizations looking to deploy microservices, automate deployment processes, and conduct continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices. Pricing is based on the number of clusters and the underlying EC2 instances used, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes. Companies choose EKS for its reliability, performance, and ability to quickly adapt to changes in workload demands while simplifying the management of Kubernetes infrastructure.
