# Section Introduction

> This lesson explores Kubernetes fundamentals, focusing on building a cluster on AWS EKS and integrating it with Jenkins for CI/CD automation.

In this lesson, we explore the fundamentals of Kubernetes with a focus on building a robust cluster on Amazon's cloud using [AWS EKS](https://learn.kodekloud.com/user/courses/aws-eks). You will learn how to set up and manage a Kubernetes cluster on AWS, ensuring a scalable environment that supports modern application deployment strategies.

In addition, we will demonstrate how to integrate this AWS-based Kubernetes setup with [Jenkins](https://learn.kodekloud.com/user/courses/jenkins). By connecting Jenkins to your Kubernetes cluster, you'll be able to establish a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, which is essential for automating application releases and updates.

  Integrating AWS EKS with Jenkins not only streamlines your deployment process but also enhances your overall application reliability by ensuring seamless updates and rollbacks.
