"Amazon Web Services has launched Amazon EKS Capabilities, a set of fully managed, Kubernetes-native features designed to streamline workload orchestration, AWS cloud resource management, and Kubernetes resource composition and automation. The capabilities, now generally available across most AWS commercial regions, bundle popular open-source tools into a managed platform layer, reducing the operational burden on engineering teams and enabling faster application deployment and scaling on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)."
"EKS Capabilities integrates three core components that many Kubernetes users already rely on: Argo CD, AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK), and Kube Resource Orchestrator (KRO), and runs them in AWS-owned infrastructure that is abstracted from customer clusters. Argo CD delivers declarative continuous deployment with GitOps workflows, allowing resources and applications to be synced directly from version control. ACK extends Kubernetes with custom resources for managing AWS services such as S3, DynamoDB, and RDS directly from within Kubernetes APIs."
"By offering these capabilities as managed AWS resources rather than in-cluster add-ons, EKS Capabilities removes the need for users to install, patch, scale, or update foundational Kubernetes tooling themselves. AWS handles scaling, maintenance, security patching, and compatibility upgrades, enabling both platform engineers and developers to focus more on delivering business logic rather than on managing platform components. In practice, teams continue to work with Kubernetes using familiar interfaces like kubectl, GitOps workflows, and declarative manifests;"

The offering bundles Argo CD, AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK), and Kube Resource Orchestrator (KRO) into AWS-owned infrastructure that is abstracted from customer clusters. Argo CD provides declarative continuous deployment and GitOps workflows. ACK exposes AWS services as Kubernetes custom resources. KRO enables creation and management of composed custom resources for reusable higher-level abstractions. AWS manages scaling, maintenance, security patching, and compatibility upgrades so teams can focus on application logic using familiar Kubernetes tools and manifests.
