EKS Capabilities (Managed)
ACK is available as a fully managed EKS Capability. AWS handles controller installation, updates, and scaling for you - no Helm or manual installation required.
Why Use EKS Capabilities?
- Fully managed - AWS handles controller lifecycle, updates, and scaling
- No Helm required - Enable ACK directly through AWS CLI or eksctl
- Integrated with EKS - Works seamlessly with other EKS capabilities like Argo CD and kro
