Amazon EKS is a managed service that runs Kubernetes on AWS.
It automates the deployment, scaling, and maintenance of containerized applications.
It works with most operating systems.

No setup is required to configure Kubernetes on AWS.
Users don't have to create a control plan.
Worker nodes are managed by Amazon EKS.
EKS integrates with various AWS tools.
It eliminates time-consuming tasks such as constructing the Kubernetes master cluster and setting service discovery.
It provides high availability and eliminates a single point of failure.
Existing tools will work with minimal modifications.

EKS is AWS' solution for Kubernetes-as-a-service.
It simplifies the management and maintenance of highly available Kubernetes clusters in AWS.

Nodes: physical or virtual machines.
Master Node: a collection of components like Storage, Controller, Scheduler, and API server that make up the control plane of Kubernetes.
Worker Node: managed by EKS.

EKS is integrated with various AWS services:
- ECR (Elastic Container Registry) for container images.
- Elastic Load Balancer for distributing traffic.
- IAM for providing authentication and authorization.
- VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) for isolating resources.

EKS is used to create and manage Kubernetes clusters, which are orchestration platforms for deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications.
Amazon EKS supports standard Kubernetes, which is the open-source container orchestration platform developed by the Kubernetes community.
The difference between EKS and Kubernetes is that EKS is a managed service that simplifies the management and maintenance of Kubernetes clusters, while Kubernetes is an open-source platform.
