Get started: Create ACK capability | Create Argo CD capability | Create kro capability Amazon EKS Capabilities is a layered set of fully managed cluster features that help accelerate developer velocity and offload the complexity of building and scaling with Kubernetes. EKS Capabilities are Kubernetes-native features for declarative continuous deployment, AWS resource management, and Kubernetes resource authoring and orchestration, all fully managed by AWS. With EKS Capabilities, you can focus more on building and scaling your workloads, offloading the operational burden of these foundational platform services to AWS. These capabilities run within EKS rather than in your clusters, eliminating the need to install, maintain, and scale critical platform components on your worker nodes. To get started, you can create one or more EKS Capabilities on a new or existing EKS cluster. To do this, you can use the AWS CLI, the AWS Management Console, EKS APIs, eksctl, or your preferred infrastructure-as-code tools. While EKS Capabilities are designed to work together, they are independent cloud resources that you can pick and choose based on your use case and requirements. All Kubernetes versions supported by EKS are supported for EKS Capabilities. EKS Capabilities are available in all AWS commercial Regions where Amazon EKS is available. For a list of supported Regions, see Amazon EKS endpoints and quotas in the AWS General Reference. ACK enables the management of AWS resources using Kubernetes APIs, allowing you to create and manage S3 buckets, RDS databases, IAM roles, and other AWS resources using Kubernetes custom resources.
