Amazon EKS Auto Mode
Fully automate your Kubernetes clusters
Why use Amazon EKS Auto Mode?
Amazon EKS Auto Mode fully automates Kubernetes cluster management for compute, storage, and networking on Amazon Web Services with a single click. It simplifies Kubernetes management by automatically provisioning infrastructure, selecting optimal compute instances, dynamically scaling resources, continuously optimizing costs, managing core add-ons, patching operating systems, and integrating with Amazon Web Services security services. Use the scalability and operational excellence of Amazon Web Services without deep Kubernetes expertise or ongoing infrastructure management overhead. By offloading cluster operations to Amazon Web Services, you can get started quickly, improve performance, and reduce overhead, letting you focus on building applications that drive innovation instead of cluster management.
Offload cluster operations
Accelerate innovation with Amazon EKS by offloading Kubernetes management to Amazon Web Services. In one-click you can automate your cluster infrastructure, quickly migrate existing clusters, or launch new workloads. Eliminate the burden of versioning, upgrades, and security patches while maintaining Kubernetes conformance. Use the operational excellence of Amazon Web Services to reduce your management load. Use Amazon EKS Auto Mode to streamline operations, enhance agility, and rapidly deploy scalable, secure Kubernetes applications in the cloud.
Improve performance, availability, and security of applications
Boost application performance, availability, and security on any cluster with the operational excellence of Amazon Web Services. Amazon EKS Auto Mode automatically provisions infrastructure, selects optimal compute instances, and dynamically scales resources, improving application availability and performance of your production-grade Kubernetes applications. With Amazon EKS Auto Mode you can enhance your security posture with built-in protections, automated updates, ephemeral compute, and native integrations with Amazon Web Services security services.
Continuously optimize compute costs
Use Amazon EKS Auto Mode to optimize compute costs through automatic capacity provisioning and dynamic scaling. EKS Auto Mode continuously selects and refines the mix of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances that support your cluster. This approach ensures ongoing optimization of resources and expenses, allowing you to maximize performance and minimize costs. EKS Auto Mode provisions, operates, secures, and upgrades Amazon EC2 instances within your account with Amazon Web Services-controlled access and lifecycle management — you continue to get Amazon EC2 benefits like Amazon Web Services Savings Plans without having to run custom security agents or worry about ongoing patching.
