[Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service](https://aws.amazon.com/de/eks/) (Amazon EKS) is a managed service that makes it easy for you to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to stand up or maintain your own Kubernetes control plane.
|
|
Amazon EKS runs Kubernetes control plane instances across multiple Availability Zones to ensure high availability.
|
|
It also provides automated version upgrades and patching for them.
|
|
|
|
Amazon EKS is used as part of the infrastructure in the Congstar project.
|
|
Different Amazon EKS Clusters are in use on a variety of environments like development, integration, testing and production.
|
|
We experienced that Kubernetes version updates are done without major efforts or impact to the running cluster.
|
|
|
|
Amazon EKS is fully supported by Terraform which brings the advantage that its configuration is written in code,
|
|
which fulfils the infrastructure as code philosophy. |
