AWS - Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service EKS

---

basic

• a managed Kubernetes service

• makes it easy to run Kubernetes on AWS and on-premises without install, operate, and maintain own Kubernetes control plane.
  • Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
  • certified Kubernetes conformant, existing applications run on upstream Kubernetes are compatible with Amazon EKS.

• automatically manages the availability and scalability of the cluster nodes that are responsible for starting and stopping containers, scheduling containers on virtual machines, storing cluster data, and other tasks.

• automatically detects and replaces unhealthy control plane nodes for each cluster.

• both Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS capable of orchestrating Docker containers
  • provide customers with flexible options.
• Amazon EKS lets you run your Kubernetes applications on both Amazon EC2 and AWS Fargate.

• Managed Kubernetes Clusters

  • Managed Control Plane
    • Amazon EKS provides a scalable and highly-available Kubernetes control plane running across multiple AWS Availability Zones (AZs).
    • Amazon EKS automatically manages availability and scalability of Kubernetes API servers and etcd persistence layer.
    • Amazon EKS runs the Kubernetes control plane across three AZs to ensure high availability, and automatically detects and replaces unhealthy control plane nodes.
  • Service Integrations
    • AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK) gives you direct management control over AWS services from within your Kubernetes environment.
    • ACK makes it simple to build scalable and highly available Kubernetes applications utilizing AWS services.
  • Hosted Kubernetes Console
    • EKS provides an integrated console for Kubernetes clusters.
    • Cluster operators and application developers can use EKS as a single place to organize, visualize, and troubleshoot your Kubernetes applications running on Amazon EKS.
    • The EKS console is hosted by AWS and is available automatically for all EKS clusters.
  • EKS Add-Ons
    • common operational software for extending the Kubernetes operational functionality.
    • use EKS to install and keep the add-on software up-to-date.
    • When start an Amazon EKS cluster, select the add-ons you would like to run in the cluster, including Kubernetes tools for observability, networking, auto-scaling, and AWS service integrations.
  • Managed Node Groups
    • create, update, scale, and terminate nodes for your cluster with a single command.
    • These nodes can also leverage Amazon EC2 Spot Instances to reduce costs.
    • Managed node groups run Amazon EC2 instances using the latest EKS-optimized or custom Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) in the AWS account,
    • while updates and terminations gracefully drain nodes to ensure your applications remain available.
• Deploy across hybrid environments
  • Manage your Kubernetes clusters and applications in hybrid environments and run Kubernetes in your data centers.
• Model machine learning (ML) workflows
  • Efficiently run distributed training jobs using the latest EC2 GPU-powered instances, including Inferentia, and deploy training and inferences using Kubeflow.
• Build and run web applications
  • Create applications that automatically scale up and down and run in a highly available configuration across multiple Availability Zones (AZs) with out-of-the-box networking and security integrations.
