Definition

EKS Add-ons are pre-packaged software components that can be easily deployed and managed on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters. These add-ons provide essential functionalities such as networking, observability, and security, and are maintained by AWS to ensure compatibility and support. By using EKS Add-ons, users can simplify the management of their Kubernetes environments and ensure that critical components are kept up-to-date with the latest security patches and features.
