What we hear from customers
How do I integrate EKS external
services like with Managed
Grafana and Prometheus?
What are sensible defaults
for a best practices EKS
cluster?
How do I configure and EKS
cluster to run workloads for
multiple teams?
How can I build an EKS
cluster that meets the NSA
hardening guidelines?
How can I integrate EKS with
an external IDP to manage
cluster access? How can I run big
data/analytics workloads on
EKS?

Working backwards from customers
Flexible tools that allow customers to easily customize an EKS
cluster to meet their unique requirements
A starting point for net new development and experimentation on
container services.
Out of the box integrations with popular AWS services and open
source tools
A foundation that allows for customization and expansion over
time.
