Abstract:
Join us to learn about Amazon EKS Blueprints, a new project that was created to provision batteries-included Amazon EKS clusters, that meet well-architected principles. In this talk you will learn about Amazon EKS Blueprints and how you can leverage Terraform or AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) to deploy clusters, manage configuration and add-ons, and create Kubernetes environments with all the cluster components to support reliability, security and observability for your application workloads. We’ll start the session by exploring design stages and key considerations when designing well-architected Amazon EKS clusters, move onto an Amazon EKS Blueprints overview, before finishing with a live demo of the project in action.

The talk is targeted for existing Kubernetes users, developers, architects and DevOps Engineers. The talk will be in English.
