One of the most important DevOps transformation trends over the last few years has been the move towards containers, microservices and adopting a cloud-first software delivery model. More and more enterprises (of all sizes) are leveraging technologies such as AWS, Docker, Kubernetes and CloudBees CI to standardize their software delivery process and achieve faster time to market with higher quality.

A large percentage of CloudBees customers are moving their CI/CD workloads to AWS and they are in need of enterprise grade cloud native solutions that make it easy to build, test and deploy their diverse applications, powered by Jenkins and Kubernetes

Since early this year, CloudBees and the EKS team have established a strong partnership that has resulted in the general availability of CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise on Amazon EKS.

Amazon EKS makes it incredibly easy for enterprises to set up a highly available and resilient Kubernetes cluster on AWS, managed entirely by AWS! Kubernetes management can be a fairly complex operational task for enterprises and with Amazon EKS, AWS has done a great job in solving this pain point. Plus, it provides integrations with AWS authentication and networking services, making it an incredibly secure and easy to use. Enterprises can leverage the familiar AWS console to setup and manage their Amazon EKS clusters, thereby mitigating the need to learn an entirely new and foreign paradigm.

The CloudBees engineering team has spent extensive time in working with Amazon EKS, and based on our experience thus far, we strongly recommend it as the best and most comprehensive Kubernetes service for AWS. CloudBees has made it incredibly easy to run CloudBees CI on an Amazon EKS cluster. To get started, follow the official installation guide listed here . Once CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise has been installed on Amazon EKS, the cluster admins can start onboarding development teams and creating CI/CD pipelines in minutes!
