What AWS service is used to provide users with managed Kubernetes clusters?

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is the service specifically designed to provide users with managed Kubernetes clusters. It simplifies the process of deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications using Kubernetes. EKS handles the operational overhead of running Kubernetes, including managing the control plane, ensuring availability, and applying security updates.

With EKS, users can focus more on their applications rather than the complexities of cluster management. It integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, allowing users to take advantage of the security, scalability, and resilience of the AWS cloud. This makes it convenient for deploying containerized applications at scale.

While AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that works with EKS to simplify running containers, it does not directly provide Kubernetes cluster management. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database service, and Amazon Lightsail is designed for simplified virtual private server hosting, neither of which relate to Kubernetes cluster management. This emphasis on Kubernetes makes Amazon EKS the clear and correct choice for managed Kubernetes services within the AWS ecosystem.
