Modernise your business with Amazon EKS.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is AWS's managed, CNCF-certified Kubernetes service. AWS runs the control plane across multiple Availability Zones and handles provisioning, patching and scaling it. You run workloads on EC2 instances, including Spot and GPU instances, or on serverless Fargate. EKS integrates with IAM, VPC networking and storage drivers, and works with standard tools like Helm, Istio and Prometheus.

EKS removes control-plane work, but you still own node groups, networking, IAM, upgrades, autoscaling, security and cost. A partner with production experience avoids the common mistakes and runs the platform day to day. VA2PT is an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner; our certified engineers build clusters as code, manage them with 24x7 SRE support and keep your team free to work on applications.

We right-size workloads based on actual usage, use Karpenter to add and remove nodes as demand changes and move suitable workloads to Spot capacity. Graviton instances offer strong price-performance, so we test and adopt them where your images support ARM. GPU node pools scale to zero when no AI jobs are running. Cost dashboards then show spend by namespace or team so savings stay visible.

Yes. Amazon EKS is covered by compliance programmes including SOC, PCI, ISO, FedRAMP Moderate and HITRUST CSF, and is HIPAA eligible. Compliance also depends on how clusters are configured, so we set up encryption, least-privilege IAM, network policies, audit logging and image scanning to support your audit requirements.

Kubernetes itself is portable, and we keep it that way. Clusters are defined with Terraform and applications are packaged with Helm, following upstream Kubernetes practice. Where AWS-specific integrations add real value, such as IAM roles for service accounts, we isolate them so moving to AKS, GKE or another platform later is manageable. We also review and run clusters on Azure and Google Cloud.
