AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK)

Manage AWS services directly from Kubernetes using custom resource definitions (CRDs) and controllers. ACK extends the Kubernetes API to create, update, and delete AWS resources using familiar kubectl commands and GitOps workflows.

Overview

AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK) enables you to:

• Define AWS resources as Kubernetes manifests (S3 buckets, RDS databases, SQS queues, etc.)
• Use kubectl to manage AWS infrastructure
• Implement end-to-end GitOps for applications and infrastructure
• Leverage Kubernetes RBAC for AWS resource access control
• Automatically reconcile drift between desired and actual AWS state
• Adopt existing AWS resources without recreation
