AWS EKS runs Kubernetes on AWS with AWS managing the control plane. You provision EC2/Fargate worker nodes, deploy workloads (Pods, Services, Deployments), and Kubernetes handles scheduling, scaling, and networking. Mastery means understanding cluster architecture, RBAC, networking (CNI, Ingress), storage (EBS, EFS), observability (prometheus, logging), and cost optimization. Learning path: Kubernetes fundamentals (4 weeks) → EKS setup (2 weeks) → networking + storage (3 weeks) → production operations (4 weeks). Steep learning curve but portable across clouds.
AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) is managed Kubernetes on AWS. AWS runs the control plane (API server, scheduler, etcd); you provision and manage worker nodes (EC2 or Fargate). You deploy workloads using standard Kubernetes manifests (YAML), and EKS handles orchestration, scaling, and high availability. EKS is standard Kubernetes, so skills transfer to other clouds (GCP, Azure).
