Kubernetes vs. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)

ACKS empowers you to build resilient and highly available clusters within a native Kubernetes environment, giving you the peace of mind to run your workloads without any worries. You can leverage the power of Kubernetes to span clusters across various cloud environments, including public, private, hybrid, and on-premises data centers. This makes ACKS the perfect solution for supporting cloud-native applications that require fast scaling and containerized deployments in production environments.

Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes on AWS. Amazon EKS runs the Kubernetes management infrastructure for you across multiple AWS availability zones to eliminate a single point of failure. Amazon EKS is certified Kubernetes conformant so you can use existing tooling and plugins from partners and the Kubernetes community. Applications running on any standard Kubernetes environment are fully compatible and can be easily migrated to Amazon EKS.
