Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: Nathan Taber. Contributed by Nathan Taber and Michael HausenblasAt re:Invent 2017 we introduced the Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes, or Amazon EKS for short. We consider these tenets as valid today as they were at launch: EKS is a platform to run production-grade workloads. This means that security and reliability are our first priority. After that we focus on doing the heavy lifting for you in the control plane, including life cycle-related things like version upgrades. EKS provides a native and upstream Kubernetes experience. This means, with EKS you get vanilla, un-forked Kubernetes. Of course, in ... Read More
