Elastic Kubernetes Service
A secure, elastic, and cost-effective serverless Kubernetes service
Overview
Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a Tencent Kubernetes Engine (TKE) service mode that allows you to deploy workloads without purchasing nodes. EKS is compatible with native Kubernetes, allowing you to purchase and manage resources natively. It is ready-to-use and supports Tencent Cloud products for storage, networking, and more. EKS is billed based on the actual amount of resources used by containers, and Tencent Cloud ensures secure container isolation.
Benefits
Native Support for Kubernetes
EKS is community-driven and supports the latest Kubernetes version as well as native Kubernetes cluster management. It is ready-to-use in the form of a plugin to support Tencent Cloud products for storage, networking, load balancing, and more.
Serverless
EKS is a fully managed Kubernetes service, eliminating the need for you to manage any compute nodes. It delivers computing resources using pods. You can purchase, return, and manage cloud resources in native Kubernetes mode.
High Security and Reliability
EKS is built on Tencent Cloud's well-developed virtualization technology and network architecture, providing 99.95% service availability. Tencent Cloud ensures the virtual and network isolation of EKS clusters between users. You can configure network policies for specific products using security groups, network ACL, etc.
Scaling Within Seconds
EKS leverages the lightweight virtualization technology independently developed by Tencent Cloud to improve efficiency, allowing you to create or delete a TKE instance within seconds. EKS supports automatic scaling of services based on actual loads by configuring the native HPA of Kubernetes.
Cost Reduction
The serverless framework of EKS ensures higher resource utilization and lower OPS costs. Flexible and efficient auto scaling ensures that EKS only consumes the amount of resources required by the current load.
Service Integration
EKS provides solutions that meet different business needs and can be integrated with most Tencent Cloud services, such as CBS, CFS, COS, TencentDB products, VPC and more.
Features
Multi-Cluster Management
Simplified OPS
Increased Application Deployment Efficiency
Higher Application Availability and Scalability
Convenient Services
Convenient Configuration Management
Multi-Cluster Management
Simplified OPS
- EKS provides the cloud service model of workload as a service. The lifecycle of cloud resources is the same as that of application workloads. The resources are requested when a workload is created, and released when a workload is terminated
- Resources are requested based on workloads
- Container-level auto scaling ensures high resource utilization
Increased Application Deployment Efficiency
- EKS allows you to quickly deploy or update applications using images, YAML files, or templates
- EKS supports microservices to reduce code maintenance costs and meet changing business needs
Higher Application Availability and Scalability
- Container with exceptions can be automatically restored
- Containers can be scaled out horizontally within seconds to cope with unexpected situations during application workload operations
- Application workloads can be scheduled across availability zones to improve the disaster recovery capability
- EKS supports rolling updates with no business interruption
Convenient Services
- EKS is compatible with the native Kubernetes service mode, which facilitates access between containers within a cluster or access by workloads outside the cluster
- EKS supports service discovery using the load balancer domain name or service name plus the port. This eliminates the impact of IP changes caused by the service backend
Convenient Configuration Management
- EKS supports different deployment environments for the same application to facilitate update and rollback
- EKS supports multiple application versions. However, you can only add versions, not modify them
- EKS allows you to import the configuration into containers as a file
