How to Use the Serverless Option for Provisioning an EKS Cluster

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) offers a serverless option through AWS Fargate, which simplifies the process of managing containerized applications by allowing you to run Kubernetes pods without provisioning or managing EC2 instances. This serverless approach frees up time and resources for developers to focus on deploying and managing their applications rather than the servers they run on. By using CloudFormation and Lambda, the entire lifecycle of your EKS infrastructure can be automated, reducing management overhead, ensuring consistency across environments, and improving scalability. To optimize workloads for performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency, fine-tune workload placement, configure resource requests and limits, use Horizontal Pod Autoscaling, and monitor costs using AWS tools like Cost Explorer and CloudWatch.
