Kubernetes (K8s) is on everyone’s lips, but it is easy to experience pitfalls during the development of a K8s cluster. In this talk we will give you an introduction of AWS EKS (Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes), the managed service for deploying and operate Kubernetes on AWS resources, and how you can reach a production readiness. This seamless integration of K8s into the AWS environment allows you a rapid application development assuming architectural concepts of microservice and serverless architecture.
