Editing AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)

[[AWS]] Elastic [[Kubernetes]] Service ([[EKS]]) is a managed [[Kubernetes]] solution for running [[containers]] available in AWS cloud platform since June 2018 <ref>https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/DevOps/Kubernetes/EKS</ref>. EKS can be managed using [[Jenkins X]] software <ref>https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/continuous-delivery-eks-jenkins-x/</ref>. Other AWS services for running containers are [[ECS]] or [[Fargate]].

By default EKS provides 3 [[master node]]s and 3 <code>[[etcd]]</code> nodes, but are invisible to you and Amazon is responsible of [[AutoScaling]] them when needed.

== Costs ==
[[EKS]] is not included in [[AWS Free Tier]], usually running an EKS cluster is more expensive than [[ECS]] for small deployments. [[Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)]] offers free trial Kubernetes service. AWS charges $0.10 per hour for each EKS cluster (aprox $72 per month). https://calculator.aws/#/estimate?id=c9a2b153ce184659c1353bf959ebc47ba3af916a
