Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) is a cloud-based Kubernetes service that provides automated cluster management and maintenance, ensuring the health and availability of your Kubernetes cluster. EKS integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, using worker nodes as EC2 instances operating over Amazon's Virtual Private Cloud architecture. Datadog can help monitor container infrastructure and applications in real-time, providing visibility into all AWS services, metrics, logs, and distributed request traces from all applications. With Datadog running in your EKS environment, you can get full visibility into your containers, Kubernetes cluster, and EC2 nodes, correlating metrics across different logical groupings such as pods, Docker images, and AWS CloudFormation stacks. The platform provides a single dashboard to monitor your Amazon EKS cluster, allowing you to filter by tags pulled from AWS or Kubernetes, or custom tags in your cluster, to determine the health of containers and resource usage distribution across nodes.
