Summary

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a managed container service designed to deploy and scale cloud-based or on-premise Kubernetes applications. AWS released EKS Blueprints, a framework for creating internal development platforms on EKS, which enables enterprises to reduce operational complexity by packaging tools into a cohesive platform that allows seamless deployment of EKS workloads at scale. Datadog is an official launch partner with EKS Blueprints, providing customers with the ability to deploy the Datadog Agent and gain deep visibility into the health and performance of their dynamic infrastructure. The integration supports extensibility and scalability, allowing developers to create well-architected EKS clusters across multiple accounts and regions from a single Git repository. With this integration, users can monitor clusters, pods, containers, and other Kubernetes resources in real-time, providing critical insights into metrics such as pod availability and resource utilization.
