Which service would you use to run Kubernetes on AWS without installing your own clusters?

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

Answer: (B)

Running Kubernetes on AWS without installing and managing your own clusters means using a managed Kubernetes service. The AWS service designed for this is Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service. It runs and manages the Kubernetes control plane for you, handles upgrades and high availability, and lets you deploy Kubernetes clusters without building and operating the control plane yourself. You can also run Kubernetes pods on AWS Fargate to avoid managing worker nodes, but the key service that provides the managed Kubernetes experience is EKS. The other options serve different purposes: Amazon ECS is AWS’s own container orchestration not Kubernetes; AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers (usable with ECS or EKS) but doesn’t by itself provide Kubernetes; AWS Lambda runs code in a serverless function model, not Kubernetes or container orchestration.
