Amazon EKS
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a fully managed Kubernetes service. Customers such as Intel, Snap, Intuit, GoDaddy, and Autodesk trust EKS to run their most sensitive and mission-critical applications because of its security, reliability, and scalability. EKS is the best place to run Kubernetes for several reasons. First, you can choose to run your EKS clusters using AWS Fargate, which is serverless compute for containers. Fargate removes the need to provision and manage servers, lets you specify and pay for resources per application, and improves security through application isolation by design. Second, EKS is deeply integrated with services such as Amazon CloudWatch, Auto Scaling Groups, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), providing you a seamless experience to monitor, scale, and load-balance your applications.

Control Plane
Control Plane is the unbreakable platform for running production workloads. It runs serverless, standard, stateful, and cron workloads natively on AWS, GCP, and Azure, VM workloads on Managed Kubernetes locations, and workloads on your own infrastructure or on premises, active-active across regions and clouds. The 99.999% availability SLA applies to workloads running at least two replicas in at least two locations.
Control Plane handles Day 2 operations for you, including autoscaling, Capacity AI right-sizing, built-in observability, and security, with no Kubernetes cluster to operate. Universal Cloud Identity gives workloads access to 600+ services across AWS, GCP, and Azure with no long-lived cloud keys in your code.
Customers typically cut compute costs 30 to 50 percent compared with running directly on AWS, GCP, or Azure. Control Plane is PCI DSS Level 1, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant.

AWS Fargate
AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that works with both Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). Fargate makes it easy for you to focus on building your applications. Fargate removes the need to provision and manage servers, lets you specify and pay for resources per application, and improves security through application isolation by design. Fargate allocates the right amount of compute, eliminating the need to choose instances and scale cluster capacity. You only pay for the resources required to run your containers, so there is no over-provisioning and paying for additional servers. Fargate runs each task or pod in its own kernel providing the tasks and pods their own isolated compute environment. This enables your application to have workload isolation and improved security by design.
