Does AWS support Kubernetes?

Question

I read that AWS does not support Kubernetes and is building its own Docker EC2 Container Service orchestra coordination mechanism. However, Kubernetes get-started -page has a guide on how to run Kubernetes on AWS: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/blob/master/docs/getting-started-guides/aws.md

What is right?

Answer 1

You can install Kubernetes on a regular Amazon EC2 server.

The new container service is a separate offer from Amazon called ECS .

UPDATE: AWS released in 2018 a new container service for Kubernetes called EKS: https://aws.amazon.com/eks/

Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale container applications using Kubernetes in AWS. Amazon EKS uses the Kubernetes management infrastructure for you in multiple AWS Availability Zones to eliminate a single point of failure.

Answer 2

Kubernetes provides scripts to easily configure a cluster on an EC2 computer. Setup does almost everything you need to get started quickly.

Here is the link: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/blob/release-1.0/docs/getting-started-guides/aws.md

Answer 3

Yes, it can be configured on Kubernetes on AWS. See: http://kubernetes.io/v1.0/docs/getting-started-guides/aws.html

• You can also manually configure Kubernetes on AWS by running an EC2 instance of Configuring Foe in Redhat ami https://access.redhat.com/articles/1353773 (Note: Kubernetes needs a flannel network that must be configured to manage the network between docker containers, working on different hosts (minions).

Answer 4

Amazons Container Service is not affiliated with Kubernet.

There are 3 main options for installing Kubernetes on AWS:

• In CoreOS, there is a cli for installing and managing kubernet on aws: https://coreos.com/kubernetes/docs/latest/kubernetes-on-aws.html

• Kubernetes has several scenarios for setting up a cluster on AWS: http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/aws/

• Manual installation on EC2. There are many options here: http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/#cloud

As a third-party minicub, there is now a thing that is good for running locally to try things out: http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/minikube/

Answer 5

AWS recently launched EKS , which provides k8s managed host nodes. It should be what you are looking for.
