Today, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) announced a new catalog of community add-ons that includes metrics-server, kube-state-metrics, cert-manager, prometheus-node-exporter, fluent-bit, and external-dns. This enables you to easily find, select, configure, and manage popular open-source Kubernetes add-ons directly through EKS. Each add-on has been packaged, scanned, and validated for compatibility by EKS, with container images securely hosted in an EKS-owned private Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) repository.
To make Kubernetes clusters production-ready, you need to integrate various operational tools and add-ons. These add-ons can come from various sources including AWS and open-source community repositories. Now, EKS makes it easy for you to access a broader selection of add-ons, providing a unified management experience for AWS and community add-ons. You can view available add-ons, compatible versions, configuration options, and install and manage them directly through the EKS Console, API, CLI, eksctl, or IaC tools like AWS CloudFormation.
This feature is available in all AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. To learn more visit the EKS documentation.
