Work with EKS

Using Network Flow Monitor, you can collect performance metrics for workloads that use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). This chapter shows you how to install the agent step-by-step and describes the different EKS scenarios you can monitor. You'll also find detailed descriptions of the metadata that Network Flow Monitor provides for Amazon EKS in the console to help you understand network performance.

To gain the benefits of Network Flow Monitor performance monitoring, you must first install the Amazon Network Flow Monitor Agent add-on for Amazon EKS. For more information, see Install the EKS Amazon Network Flow Monitor Agent add-on.

If you want to monitor a single EKS cluster with enhanced visibility of workload traffic and performance insights within the cluster and with external destinations, see Amazon EKS Network Observability.
