Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) is a managed service that makes it easyfor you to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install and operate your own Kubernetes clusters.

Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS), the latest addition to the AWS platform, is a cloud-based Kubernetes service that provides features for automated cluster management and maintenance.
