Summary

Amazon's Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) offers a managed Kubernetes cluster experience with features like Managed Node Groups (MNGs) that automate EC2 node provisioning, EKS Resource Tagging for custom metadata management, and EKS Control Plane Logging for comprehensive audit log access via CloudWatch. The EKS Cluster Autoscaler dynamically adjusts nodes based on resource needs, while EKS Cluster Access Points enhance API security with options for private and public access configurations. The eksctl command-line tool simplifies EKS management within the AWS CLI, and the service now supports up to 100 clusters per region, a significant increase from previous limits. Additionally, users can deploy the Kubernetes Metrics Server on EKS for monitoring purposes, and EKS clusters can now run on AWS Outposts for on-premise deployments, provided certain regional and network conditions are met.
