What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)?

I've been using Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service for a few months now and I'm really impressed. It's been a great way to get started with Kubernetes without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. The service is managed and scalable, which means that I can focus on my applications instead of spending time managing servers. I was looking for a way to create applications that automatically scale up and down and run in a highly available configuration across multiple Availability Zones without overhead of extra networking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)?

It is a great Kubernetes service over the cloud and I dislike nothing about it. Easy to use and highly scalable, this is a must-have for any developer with ambitions to scale their application.

You might think that the service is little bit pricey, but I think it's worth it considering how much time you save on administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was trying to scale my application with a serverless architecture. I was able to get it up and running but I found it hard to scale and maintain. With AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service, I had a lot of help rearchitecting my application into a container based application that was easy, secure and reliable. It also made it easy for me to deploy the application and manage the versions and way of rolling out updates . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
