Executive summary
In this paper, we address current challenges with modernizing on-premises systems with
Kubernetes. Although Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud services offer several
advantages, customers still need to run workloads on premises for a number of reasons,
including low latency and data locality, which we cover in-depth in this guide. To help address
these challenges, we present a set of solutions powered by Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service
(Amazon EKS). Specifically, we focus on Amazon EKS Anywhere, a solution to run Kubernetes on
premises, allowing for both perpetual on-premises container and infrastructure management,
as well as a vehicle for migrating to the cloud.
This paper is intended to accelerate company decision-makers' evaluation process determine a
solution that best fits your business needs.
