" summary

Amazon EKS is a managed Kubernetes control plane running tens of thousands of production clusters with 13 regions available and a 99.9% SLA. AWS deploys EKS with a cell‑based architecture to limit blast radius and speed repairs, uses IAM for auth, a native CNI plugin, CloudWatch/CloudTrail integration, and supports GPU nodes and full conformance testing including scalability and upgrade tests. EKS provides upstream‑compatible clusters, tooling like eksctl, and a shared security model summarized as security is job zero.
