Which service provides a fully managed container orchestration for deploying and managing applications?

The service that provides a fully managed container orchestration platform for deploying and managing applications is Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service). EKS simplifies the process of running Kubernetes clusters on AWS, managing tasks such as scaling, availability, and security. With EKS, users can easily deploy applications using Kubernetes without needing to handle the underlying infrastructure complexities.

In the context of container orchestration, EKS allows organizations to orchestrate containerized applications effectively, utilizing the benefits of Kubernetes, which is a powerful open-source container orchestration system. EKS manages the Kubernetes control plane, ensuring that it is highly available and secure, allowing users to focus on their application deployments rather than cluster management.

While Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) is also a fully managed container orchestration service, it specifically supports Docker containers but does not provide the same Kubernetes feature set as EKS. AWS Fargate complements ECS and EKS by allowing serverless compute for containers, but it is not an orchestration service itself. AWS Lambda is designed for serverless computing and not specifically for container orchestration.
