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

It is well suited once you need to have a Kubernetes cluster in AWS Cloud and need to maintain a strategic distance from all the administration overhead of keeping up your claim cluster in terms of the control plane. It's simple to coordinate other k8s tooling with EKS like a lens(IDE for k8s) etc. It is exceptionally simple to convey to a distant degree it moreover decreases the time to convey as compared to the manual arrangement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Not a dislike, but I believe AWS IAM integration with Kubernetes RBAC could get better.

Empowering a few add-ons like service mesh, and observing will be decent rather than having to introduce them yourself after the creation of the cluster.

EKS bootstrap time may well be speedier in upcoming time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is easy to adopt, the cluster management is also good and the management of the control plane is also good. Also, migrating workloads from ec2 VMs to containers running in Kubernetes is a huge improvement in the manageability and resiliency of the infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being the regular user of Amazon eks what I like the most about eks is it is fully managed, having master slave architecture master is fully managed by aws team, you just need to take care of your own slave nodes.

This enables the user to focus on actual problem and eks deployments instead of managing the eks only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Production infrastructure needs to be highly available and stable when eks used in production infrastructure it needs to be stable, there are some instance where eks goes down and I turn affects the pods running in them.

Example being :- If vpc cni goes in degrade state it affects the whole eks cluster this should be managed by eks team with zero down time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Containers are the future, application deployment on elastic kubernetes service are highly available making deployment super fast and reliable.

Problem solved:- High speed of deployments and easier rollbacks in case of failure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
