Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) makes it possible to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes on AWS.

https://logz.io/blog/aws-eks-vs-ecs-vs-fargate-understand-differences/

Notice that Amazon also offer Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Amazon Fargate.

Since Amazon EKS is based on the open-source tool Kubernetes, all applications managed by Amazon EKS are fully compatible with applications managed by any standard Kubernetes environment.

Docker desktop

To demonstrate that it is possible to use the same kubectl client to deploy containers to a laptop or the AWS cloud consider this Docker desktop example.

aws cli

The aws command line tool is used to manage the Amazon Web Services cloud.

aws configure

aws configure is used to set credentials

AWS Access Key ID [None]: AKIAYLZDACM7MNDENQV4

AWS Secret Access Key [None]: iBXYnPPUTp+enyaVU2xvXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Default region name [None]:

Default output format [None]:

eksctl

eksctl is a simple CLI tool for creating clusters on EKS - Amazon's managed Kubernetes service for EC2.

https://github.com/weaveworks/eksctl

eksctl create cluster

--name blog-cluster \

--node-type t2.nano \

--nodes 2

kubectl apply

eksctl delete cluster

using ekctl delete to remove the cluster

--name blog-cluster

Deleting an AWS Access Key

Publishing AWS Access Keys is not a great idea.

This is how Keys are deleted.
