AWS EKS Launching Methods

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a fully managed Kubernetes service that allows you to run containerized applications on AWS. EKS makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes. In this article, we will discuss the different methods of launching an EKS cluster using the AWS Management Console, AWS CloudFormation, eksctl, and Terraform.

Method 1: AWS Management Console

The AWS Management Console is a web-based interface that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to create and manage your EKS cluster.

Method 2: AWS CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation is a service that allows you to create and manage AWS resources using templates.

Method 3: eksctl

eksctl is a command-line utility that simplifies the creation and management of EKS clusters. eksctl is an open-source project that is maintained by Weaveworks.

Method 4: Terraform

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that allows you to define and provision infrastructure resources in a declarative way.
