Amazon EKS Anywhere Description
Amazon EKS Anywhere, a new Amazon EKS deployment option, allows you to create and manage Kubernetes clusters anywhere. This includes on your own virtual machines (VMs), and bare metal servers. EKS Anywhere offers an easy-to-install software package that allows you to create and operate Kubernetes clusters. It also includes automation tools for supporting the cluster's lifecycle. EKS Anywhere provides a consistent AWS management experience for your data center. It builds on the strengths and capabilities of Amazon EKS Distro (the same Kubernetes which powers EKS on AWS). EKS Anywhere makes it easy to buy or build your own management tools. It allows you to create EKS Distro clusters and update software. You can also handle backup and recovery. EKS Anywhere allows you to automate cluster management, reduce support cost, and eliminate redundant effort of using multiple open-source or third-party tools to operate Kubernetes clusters. AWS fully supports EKS Anywhere.
