PodTemplates in Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)

Overview

PodTemplates are specifications for creating Pods within Kubernetes, and by extension, in Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). They are templates that describe the desired state of a pod.

Understanding PodTemplates

A PodTemplate is embedded in workload resources like Deployments, StatefulSets, and Jobs. The template contains specifications for pod creation, such as containers, volumes, and labels.
