User Testimonials
	Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)	Syself
Likelihood to Recommend	Well suited for microservices architecture but can be a bit costly if less number of microservices or monolithic architecture hosted to be hosted on containers. Use of hybrid cluster instances also works well using both normal and fargate instances. Also the integration of audit and diagnostic logs of master nodes helps to reduce the unwanted access related issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Upgrade the kubernetes clusters to the latest version with a single click Auto scaling policies to automatically scale the nodes Detailed logs and events on the cluster within the EKS clusters portal, cloudwatch logs and metrics Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	AWSIAM integration with Kubernetes RBAC could be better. Enabling some add-ons like service mesh, and monitoring will be nice instead of having to install them yourself after the creation of the cluster. EKS bootstrap time could be faster ...

Usability	Cluster maintanence is reduced, easier to deploy resources, great observability insights Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	It feels like AWS is behind the EKS race, the only advantage I'm able to see right now is the support of IPv6, however, trying to promote AWS alternatives that are different from the market and more like a vendor locking solutions like ECS/Fargate have kept AWS behind and focusing on the wrong things. EKS needs to really improve its integration with the Kubernetes ecosystem and have an enterprise solution for monitoring, backups, and service mesh.

Return on Investment	Migrating all our workloads from ec2 VMs to containers running in Kubernetes has been a huge improvement for the management and resilience of our Infrastructure. EKS Upgrade process to a new version seems to be taking very long .... EKS creation time usually takes over 10 minutes in us-east-1, we would like faster creation times to be under 5 minutes.
