Eks Capi Clusters

This document describe how to create and manage AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Kubernetes clusters in PMK. Amazon EKS is AWS's native Kubernetes offering, used by a number of enterprise customers. PMK provides full lifecycle management for your EKS clusters at scale. This enables you to organize and manage your EKS environment using better organization and superior automation.

PMK uses the Kubernetes Cluster API(CAPI) behind the scenes to manage EKS clusters. For more information about the Kubernetes Cluster API project and PMK's integration with Cluster API, please read auto$.
