Developer Essentials

Before you start

This fast path uses a dedicated Amazon EKS Auto Mode cluster. Amazon EKS Auto Mode extends AWS management of Kubernetes clusters beyond the cluster itself, managing infrastructure that enables smooth operation of your workloads including compute autoscaling, networking, load balancing, DNS, and block storage.
