Containerized applications are exponentially growing in popularity. The container technologies (a.o. Kubernetes) are estimated to account for over four billion dollars in market volume in 2022 with a 30 percent year-over-year growth rate measured for the period 2017 to 2022

One of the most popular platforms to run containers at scale is Kubernetes,

a feature-rich open-source orchestration system that allows automating the entire lifecycle of containers, including application deployment and monitoring their health. Despite all its benefits, Kubernetes can add an additional level of complexity, as it requires dedicated DevOps resources to keep the cluster healthy and ensure that it scales.

AWS proved many times that they are customer-centric and that they want to improve the developer’s experience. With the launch of AWS EKS on Fargate, a serverless Kubernetes service, they proved it again while introducing a service that turned out to be a game-changer with respect to running containerized applications at scale.
