name: Amazon EKS
description: Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that makes it easy to run Kubernetes
  on AWS without needing to install, operate, and maintain your own Kubernetes control plane or nodes. Amazon EKS runs upstream
  Kubernetes and is certified Kubernetes conformant, so you can use existing tools and plugins from partners and the Kubernetes
  community.
