Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that facilitates smooth running of Kubernetes on both AWS and on-premises. EKS is integrated with many AWS services to provide scalability and security and helps guarantee high availability of your clusters and its resources across numerous availability zones. There is no need to install, operate and maintain our own Kubernetes control plane or node.
To learn how to create a new Amazon EKS monitor, refer here.
Go to the Monitors Category View by clicking the Monitors tab. Click on the EKS instance available under Amazon in the Cloud Apps section. Displayed is the Amazon EKS bulk configuration view distributed into three tabs:
By clicking a monitor from the list, you'll be taken to the Amazon EKS monitor dashboard. It has 6 tabs:
