I put something into production with ECS as well. I ran into the same missing components too -- lack of service discovery, and such. Kubernetes work a lot better. As it stands right now, I wouldn't take a gig involving putting ECS into production. Now if ECS 2.0 was really AWS hosted Kubernetes, I would be very interested in hearing about that...

That's exactly what GKE is on GCP and I love it.

Google Container Engine (GKE) is certainly the easiest way to setup a Kubernetes cluster. We have been running it for a couple of months now and couldn't be happier. If you're wanting to stick with AWS I have always heard great things about the work CoreOS has been doing in this space: https://github.com/coreos/coreos-kubernetes https://github.com/coreos/coreos-kubernetes.

  That is what I keep hearing. With PetSets rolled out in 1.3, GKE is getting more competitive. At my current job (startup), we're probably going to move towards that.

  It's great to hear GKE is meeting your needs so well! (Yes, I work on it.) For 1.4, the Kubernetes Cluster Lifecycle and Ops SIGs are working on making the install and setup process much easier, including on AWS [1]. That won't magically turn it into Kubernetes as a Service, of course, but we hope it'll help users on other platforms.
