Amazon Web Services has launched the Amazon EKS Dashboard, a centralized management tool aimed at enhancing visibility for organizations operating Kubernetes clusters across various AWS regions and accounts. This tool addresses common operational complexities by allowing users to view and manage clusters, managed node groups, and add-ons from a single interface. It provides aggregated data including cluster distribution, health metrics, and historical support status, enabling better cluster oversight. Additionally, the dashboard can also manage connected clusters beyond AWS, thereby offering broader support for hybrid cloud environments.
Many customers resort to third-party tools for centralized cluster visibility, which adds complexity through identity and access setup, licensing costs, and maintenance overhead. - Micah Walter
The interface displays cluster health metrics and allows users to drill down into specific data with automatic filtering capabilities.
The dashboard offers insights into three primary resource types: clusters, managed node groups, and EKS add-ons, showcasing aggregated data by region and account.
While primarily designed for Amazon EKS clusters, the dashboard can also provide visibility into connected Kubernetes clusters running on-premises or on other cloud providers.
