Which managed service makes it easy to run Kubernetes on AWS without installing and operating your own Kubernetes clusters?

• A. AWS Lambda
• B. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)
• C. AWS IoT
• D. AWS Fargate

Answer: (B)

Running Kubernetes without installing and operating your own clusters means using a service that manages the Kubernetes control plane for you. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is that managed Kubernetes service on AWS. It provisions and operates the Kubernetes control plane, handles patching and version upgrades, and lets you run Kubernetes workloads without building or maintaining your own cluster infrastructure. While AWS Fargate can run containers and can work with EKS to run pods without managing servers, the service that provides the actual managed Kubernetes control plane is EKS. The other options serve different purposes: Lambda runs code in response to events; IoT is for device messaging and connectivity.
