If you want to, you can even take it a step further and implement EKS with Fargate profiles, which abstracts the Control Plane or API Server and the worker nodes to ensure a fully serverless Kubernetes experience.
As with AKS, in the following few sections, you’re going to learn how to create an EKS cluster manually first. After that, you’ll take...
