Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)

The most trusted way to start, run, and scale Kubernetes

Leverage built-in integrations with AWS services such as EC2, VPC, IAM, EBS and more

Reduce costs with efficient compute resource provisioning and automatic Kubernetes application scaling.

Ensure a more secure Kubernetes environment with security patches automatically applied to your cluster’s control plane.

How it works

Amazon EKS is a managed Kubernetes service to run Kubernetes in the AWS cloud and on-premises data centers. In the cloud, Amazon EKS automatically manages the availability and scalability of the Kubernetes control plane nodes responsible for scheduling containers, managing application availability, storing cluster data, and other key tasks. With Amazon EKS, you can take advantage of all the performance, scale, reliability, and availability of AWS infrastructure, as well as integrations with AWS networking and security services. On-premises, EKS provides a consistent, fully-supported Kubernetes solution with integrated tooling and simple deployment to AWS Outposts, virtual machines, or bare metal servers.
