Solution Details
Developing a modern application is a lot of work, often by a large team of people.
We often focus on the effort of writing and testing the code to launch the application (Day1).
However, the app will only launch once, but then needs to be operated and upgraded many times for years to come (Day2).
Without careful planning, the cost of Day2 can be just as high as Day1, keeping expenses high or increasing forever, and consuming top talent for the long term.
Upgrade EKS and Manage App Dependencies
Solution for Amazon EKS Solution
KAOPS automates EKS upgrades and optimizes app dependencies
EKS Version Updates
Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) requires regular version updates to stay under AWS support, and to get the latest features or security patches.
But, how can you be sure that your production apps and tools will run in the new version of Kubernetes?
Your apps and tools might depend on a particular version of EKS and its API to run properly.
Miscalculate one of those dependencies, and your apps will crash.
