Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an extremely popular container orchestration tool known for its highly modular ecosystem, and its popularity continues to grow. With several years of experience working with EKS, kOps, and OpenShift, I have witnessed firsthand the benefits of using Kubernetes for container management.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) offers excellent integration with other AWS services. For example, EKS can run fully serverless with the help of Fargate for the Pods. Secret Manager and SSM Parameter Store can be synchronized with Kubernetes secrets, and IAM roles can be directly integrated with Kubernetes Service, while security groups can be integrated with deployments/Pods. This seamless integration allows EKS to leverage the security services provided by AWS, providing a secure and reliable platform for container deployment.

In addition to Kubernetes, I have also worked with other container orchestration tools such as ECS and Docker Swarm.
