AWS EKS Kubernetes

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).
