Close your EKS performance gaps with our highly-acclaimed Amazon EKS Open Source Accelerator
Based on a partnership between AWS and Container Solutions, the Amazon EKS Open Source Accelerator is designed to bridge serious EKS performance gaps to improve cost optimisation, performance, scalability, and security.
Absolutely. But while you don’t have to manage the infrastructure of the EKS Cluster, you do have to manage the cost, performance, scalability, and security–and this is where serious EKS performance gaps are born.
Especially, when you don’t have the resources to manage the infrastructure, stability, reliability and at the same time as managing the workloads on top of these Kubernetes Clusters. While EKS brings great benefits, you need to ask, how do you benefit from your EKS Cluster? Are you using EKS as powerfully, efficiently and usefully as possible?
Most EKS consumers use it with default options and don’t get the most out of it, leaving their platform with serious EKS performance gaps.
There are many Open Source solutions to consider, and with tiny tweaks and config changes, you can immediately start benefiting more from your Amazon EKS Clusters.
Start building a plan for the improvements on different areas that found missing in the environment:
Security
Scalability
Performance
Cost Optimization
