Amazon EKS
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that makes it easy to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to install, operate, and maintain your own Kubernetes control plane or nodes. Amazon EKS runs upstream Kubernetes and is certified Kubernetes conformant, so you can use existing tools and plugins from partners and the Kubernetes community.
Amazon EKS publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Addons API, Clusters API, Fargate Profiles API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Container Orchestration, Containers, EKS, and Kubernetes.
The Amazon EKS catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Amazon EKS’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, terms of service, privacy policy, support, engineering blog, GitHub presence, and 17 more developer resources.
