Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes or EKS provides a Managed Kubernetes Service. Although it is compatible with existing plugins and tooling, EKS is not a proprietary AWS fork of Kubernetes in any way. This means you can easily migrate any standard Kubernetes application to EKS without any changes to your code base. You’ll connect to your EKS cluster with kubectl in the same way you would have done in a self-hosted Kubernetes.

It is also compatible with open-source Kubernetes, and can be safely migrated to any other Kubernetes instance at any time.
