"AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a software layer that in essence schedules your containers, monitors them, and keeps them running. It manages and scales the underlying cloud resources, like AWS EC2 instances or AWS Fargate layer.

AWS EKS was introduced back in 2018, and it was AWS' entry into offering a Managed Kubernetes offering. AWS fully manages the control plane; you only need to provision the worker instances."
