Who this book is for

This book is aimed at engineers and developers with minimal experience of the AWS platform and K8s, who want to understand how to use EKS to run containerized workloads in their environments and integrate them with other AWS services. It’s a practical guide with plenty of code examples, so familiarization with Linux, Python, Terraform, and YAML is recommended.

Overall, there are three main roles as the target audience who will gain practical insights from this book:

Developers and DevOps engineers: They will understand the Kubernetes environment on AWS, know how to configure the cluster to run cloud-native applications by using EKS, and learn CI/CD practices.
Cloud architects: They will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to design well-architected cloud infrastructure when running Kubernetes on AWS.
Kubernetes administrators: Cluster administrators will learn the practical operation methods for managing Kubernetes workloads on AWS. Additionally, they will gain a complete understanding of EKS features to enhance cluster scalability, availability, and observability.

Whether you are just getting started with cloud computing or are looking to expand your knowledge and skills, this book has something for everyone who owns an AWS account and wants to start their EKS journey.
