Learn how to deploy workloads and add-ons to Amazon EKS
Your workloads are deployed in containers, which are deployed in Pods in Kubernetes. A Pod includes one or more containers. Typically, one or more Pods that provide the same service are deployed in a Kubernetes service. Once you’ve deployed multiple Pods that provide the same service, you can:
-
View information about the workloads running on each of your clusters using the AWS Management Console.
-
Vertically scale Pods up or down with the Kubernetes Vertical Pod Autoscaler.
-
Horizontally scale the number of Pods needed to meet demand up or down with the Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler.
-
Create an external (for internet-accessible Pods) or an internal (for private Pods) network load balancer to balance network traffic across Pods. The load balancer routes traffic at Layer 4 of the OSI model.
-
Create an Application Load Balancer to balance application traffic across Pods. The application load balancer routes traffic at Layer 7 of the OSI model.

If you’re new to Kubernetes, this topic helps you Deploy a sample application.
-
You can restrict IP addresses that can be assigned to a service with
externalIPs.
