EKS Blueprints
EKS Blueprints is an open-source development framework that captures the complexity of cloud infrastructure from developers and enables them to deploy workloads with ease.
Containerized environments on AWS include many open-source or AWS products and services, including services for running containers, CI/CD pipeline, logging/metrics, and security enforcements.
The EKS Blueprints framework packages these tools into a cohesive whole and makes them available to development teams as a service. From an operational perspective, the framework allows companies to unify tools and best practices for securing, scaling, monitoring, and operating container infrastructure into one central platform that developers in an enterprise can use.
Work
EKS Blueprints is built on top of Amazon EKS and all the different components. EKS Blueprints are defined through Infrastructure-as-Code best practices through the AWS CDK.
See more documentation on EKS blueprints for CDK built with AWS CDK making it easy for customers to build and deploy EKS blueprints on Amazon EKS.
AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) is an open-source software development framework for defining cloud application resources in programming languages and familiar programs.
