Which AWS compute service is specifically designed to support Kubernetes applications?

Amazon EC2
AWS Batch
Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes
AWS Lightsail

The correct answer is: Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes

Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) is specifically designed to support Kubernetes applications. EKS provides a fully managed Kubernetes service that simplifies the process of running Kubernetes clusters on AWS. By using EKS, users can deploy, manage, and scale their containerized applications with the high availability and security that AWS offers, while benefiting from Kubernetes’ robust orchestration capabilities. EKS handles the heavy lifting of managing the control plane for Kubernetes, including the provisioning and scaling of the Kubernetes API servers and the etcd persistent storage layer, allowing developers to focus on building and deploying applications rather than managing the underlying infrastructure. Furthermore, EKS integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, enhancing its functionality and optimizing applications running in Kubernetes. In contrast, other AWS compute services such as Amazon EC2 provides raw computing power but doesn't specifically cater to Kubernetes out of the box, requiring more setup effort for integration. AWS Batch is oriented towards batch processing and job scheduling and does not directly address running Kubernetes workloads. AWS Lightsail, designed for simplicity in deploying web applications, is not tailored for Kubernetes management or orchestration.
