Run Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters on Ubuntu and get the advantage of managed Kubernetes with the Ubuntu ecosystem.
Overview
Canonical and AWS work together to make Ubuntu worker nodes available for Amazon's Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS), allowing customers to get the best of both worlds: A fully managed Kubernetes service with the Ubuntu ecosystem under the hood. You can also upgrade to Ubuntu Pro and activate additional security features such as FIPS mode, Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM), CIS or DISA-STIG hardening and Kernel Livepatch for getting Kernel security patches without unplanned downtime. These images are based on the official Ubuntu Minimal LTS and include the custom Ubuntu-aws optimized kernel. They have been built specifically for the EKS service, therefore are not intended as general OS images. To deploy Ubuntu worker nodes on EKS, you can use eksctl, EC2 Launch templates on the EKS web console, Cloudformation templates and other mechanisms.
Highlights
- AWS managed Kubernetes on Ubuntu AWS-optimized worker nodes
- Based on minimal Ubuntu for best performance and security
- Upgrade to Pro to get access to Pro containers

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

For Ubuntu Cloud Guest it is suggested to manually configure your Security Group/Firewall settings.
