Overview
"Canonical and AWS work together to make Ubuntu worker nodes available for Amazon's Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS). This fully-managed service makes it easy to use Kubernetes on AWS, without being an expert in managing Kubernetes clusters.
These images are based on the official Ubuntu Minimal LTS and include the custom Ubuntu-aws optimized kernel. They have been built specifically for the EKS service, therefore are not intended as general OS images.
You can also upgrade to Ubuntu Pro and activate additional security features such as FIPS mode, Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM), CIS or Disa STIG hardening and Kernel Livepatch.
To deploy Ubuntu worker nodes on EKS, you can use eksctl, EC2 Launch templates when creating the Node Groups on EKS console, Cloudformation templates and other mechanisms.
You can upgrade to Ubuntu Pro if you need to run your worker nodes on FIPS mode, with Kernel Livepach or with ESM content. Visit https://thinkwithwp.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-negkygylqkp44?sr=0-1&ref_=beagle&applicationId=AWSMPContessa to learn more."
Highlights
- AWS managed Kubernetes on Ubuntu AWS-optimized worker nodes
- Based on minimal Ubuntu for best performance and security
- Upgrade to Pro to get access to ESM, FIPS, kernel livepatch and hardening tools.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
For Ubuntu Cloud Guest it is suggested to manually configure your Security Group/Firewall settings. The 1-Click Security Group opens only port 22 so that you can access your instance via ssh using login 'ubuntu'. If you chose the 1-Click Security Group, you may change it later to enable applications using the AWS Console or API.
