AWS announced Elastic Beanstalk Cluster Mode, which accepts an application as source code, a Dockerfile, or a pre-built container image from Amazon ECR and runs it on Amazon EKS.

The service is available in all commercial AWS Regions where Elastic Beanstalk is offered, with no additional Elastic Beanstalk service fee beyond underlying resources.
