help Amazon EKS Anywhere FAQ
Where does Amazon EKS Anywhere run Kubernetes clusters?
Amazon EKS Anywhere runs on infrastructure controlled by the organization, including on-premises data centers and edge locations. AWS documentation also lists providers such as VMware vSphere, bare metal, Nutanix, and AWS Snow.
Is Amazon EKS Anywhere the same thing as managed Amazon EKS in AWS?
No, Amazon EKS is AWS-managed in the cloud, while EKS Anywhere runs on user-managed infrastructure. The product aims to provide a familiar EKS-style Kubernetes experience outside the AWS cloud.
Can Amazon EKS Anywhere run on bare-metal servers?
Yes, bare-metal deployment is a supported EKS Anywhere option. The cluster still requires the documented networking, provisioning, and hardware prerequisites for the chosen environment.
Why would a company choose EKS Anywhere for an edge deployment?
It allows the company to operate certified Kubernetes clusters closer to workloads at an edge site instead of moving every workload into AWS. The same product also supports on-premises environments, giving teams one AWS-oriented operating model across locations.
