AWS CodePipeline adds native Amazon EKS deployment support

AWS CodePipeline introduces a new action to deploy to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). This action enables you to easily deploy your container applications to your EKS clusters, including those in private VPCs.

Previously, if you wanted to deploy to a EKS cluster within a private network, you had to initialize and maintain a compute environment within the private network. Now, you can simply provide the name of the EKS cluster and add this action to your pipeline. The pipeline will automatically establish a connection into your private network to deploy your container application, without additional infrastructure needed. This streamlined approach reduces your operational overhead and simplifies your deployment process.

To learn more about using the EKS action in your pipeline, visit our tutorial and documentation. For more information about AWS CodePipeline, visit our product page. This new action is available in all regions where AWS CodePipeline is supported, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions.
