EKS
As a fully-managed Kubernetes service on AWS, Amazon EKS makes it easier to construct and secure Kubernetes clusters. The service is the most reliable method for deploying Kubernetes. Amazon EKS is ideal for developers who want to deploy Kubernetes clusters across hybrid environments or for anybody who wants to manage their Kubernetes cluster using a trusted and managed service.


Kubernetes
 Kubernetes is a production-grade, OpenSource platform that orchestrates containers for application deployment, scaling, and management of applications within and across computer clusters (or Cloud.) 

In simple words

📌 It’s a container orchestration platform for managing container-based workloads, and services, automating deployment and scaling containerized applications.
