The Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes, EKS, is the long-awaited hosted Kubernetes offering from AWS. It offers managed Kubernetes 1.10 clusters, and is currently GA in two regions in North America.

Building on Kubernetes, Istio is a service mesh that provides “An open platform to connect, manage, and secure microservices.” Here at Tetrate we’re active contributors to Istio, and we dogfood the latest nightly versions in all of our own infrastructure.
