Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that automates certain aspects of deployment and maintenance for any standard Kubernetes environment. Whether you are migrating an existing Kubernetes application to Amazon EKS, or are deploying a new cluster on Amazon EKS on AWS Outposts, Datadog helps you monitor your EKS environments in real time.
Setup
Because Datadog already integrates with Kubernetes and AWS, it is ready-made to monitor EKS. If you’re running the Agent in a Kubernetes cluster and plan to migrate to EKS, you can continue monitoring your cluster with Datadog.
Monitoring EKS requires that you set up one of the following Datadog integrations along with integrations for any other AWS services you’re running with EKS, such as ELB.
