Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is now available in AWS Africa (Cape Town) and AWS Europe (Milan) Regions. 

Amazon EKS is a managed Kubernetes service that makes it easy for you to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install, operate, and maintain your own Kubernetes control plane or worker nodes. Support for AWS Fargate eliminates the need to create or manage EC2 instances with your Amazon EKS clusters. Amazon EKS is certified Kubernetes conformant, so existing applications running on upstream Kubernetes are compatible with Amazon EKS. You can also easily migrate any standard Kubernetes application to EKS without needing to refactor your code.
