Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced customers can now use its Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to run Kubernetes pods on AWS Fargate.

AWS today quietly brought spot capacity to Fargate, its serverless compute engine for containers that supports both the company’s Elastic Container Service and, now, its Elastic Kubernetes service.

Now, with AWS Fargate for Amazon EKS, customers can run Kubernetes-based applications on AWS without the need to manage servers and clusters.

At the AWS re:Invent conference today in Las Vegas, the company introduced AWS Fargate, a new service that lets you run containers without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure.

If you’re running Kubernetes on AWS, you can choose from several options; ECS, EKS, or AWS Fargate. But which is the best for you?

Sysdig said that besides being able to detect runtime threats in AWS Fargate, it can also provide detailed audit and response capabilities.

As the battle for container services heats up, AWS is upping its already strong game. New services across the portfolio were announced both during and before re:Invent, including upgrades to Fargate.

Threat Stack announced it has expanded its AWS Fargate Security Monitoring to include Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS).

Chicago-based application performance monitoring vendor Instana claims to be the first to support monitoring and tracing in AWS Fargate.
