EKS Best Practices
Complying with a Kubernetes cluster best practice on AWS can be challenging for an organization as it requires a strong understanding of Kubernetes and AWS. This can include the ability to properly configure and manage the cluster, ensure its scalability and availability, and secure it from potential malicious attacks. It also involves the integration with other AWS services and the ability to monitor and troubleshoot the cluster effectively.
