EKS
In plain terms
Amazon's managed Kubernetes service.
Going deeper
EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) runs and manages Kubernetes clusters on AWS, handling the control plane for you. It eases running Kubernetes in production.
Under the hood
AWS manages the control plane's availability; you still manage workloads and often nodes.
Examples
Container orchestration on AWS, microservices, managed Kubernetes.
Think of it like...
Like hiring AWS to run the air-traffic-control tower while you fly the planes.
