In the past several years, organizations of all sizes and verticals have helped to accelerate their IT development pipelines using containerized applications orchestrated by Kubernetes (K8s) and the cloud. But as organizations expand adoption of Amazon EKS, the number of K8s clusters and apps can lead to significant operational challenges, including observability, upgrade management, security and developer productivity.

Be it spot-based worker node provisioning, https://aws.amazon.com/eks/eks-distro/ or secure application deployment across multiple EKS clusters configured with private endpoints, platform teams need to centralize management to create a holistic approach to operating Kubernetes clusters on AWS.

Enterprises trying to scale modern applications often encounter an “operational gap” between what their Kubernetes strategy enables and what their organization needs to thrive.

The key is to create operational practices for automating cluster and application deployments, Kubernetes upgrades and administrative tasks.
