Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) is a managed service that simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of Kubernetes applications on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. It allows users to run containerized applications without the complexity of setting up and maintaining the underlying infrastructure. With Amazon EKS, users can easily integrate with other AWS services, such as Amazon EC2 for compute resources and Amazon RDS for databases. This service provides a secure and scalable environment, enabling developers to focus on building applications rather than managing the Kubernetes control plane.
