What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

Platforms like S3, EC2, EKS, and ASG provide the most intelligent and reliable service to cloud users. The sample architect guides have got a variety of use cases to refer to and implement in the prod-grade environment after testing enough in lower environments. The S3 bucket is really simple and still more efficient in fulfilling the needs according to the requirement and many more services to go like this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Nice integration with existing AWS services like ELB, S3,RDS etc

Its easy to get started with k8s with the help of managed service like AWS EKS, that hides some internal complexity and reduces the learning curve.

EKS is priced as pay as you use, so its more cost effective for smaller workload and cost transperncy is there

Its easy to intergrate other k8s tooling with EKS like lens(IDE for k8s) etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

vendor lock-in, like other AWS services there is vendor lock-in espcially if you use it with other AWS services like S3, dynamoDB, ELB etc and later on moving to some other cloud provider can be a daunting task for you.

Its not the cheapest service in the market and some of its competitors offers almost same functionality as a considerable less cost Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Simplifying the k8s management and operation

Easy to adopt the k8s using AWS EKS, without EKS in AWS doing this yourseld can be a very complex process espically if you are new to k8s eco-system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Earlier we were using EC2 to host our application backend APIs but our main problem was scaling, in peak hours we used to replicate our application on some other EC2s an update the traffic from Nginx settings, but this manual effort was hectic and random. So to minimise this issue we adopted EKS, it autoscales our system, we are using HPA for that, also it has nominal cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Overall I haven't seen any disadvantage yet, but sometimes debuging it's issue becomes over head, like backoffs error, livelines, readiness errors, but its best practice to adopt this feature for best user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had scaling issue for our backend APIs but after adopting this we were able to solve this, we can autoscale on memory, CPU usage and network traffic, thats all what we looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
