Yeah, no EFS in Fargate is a deal-breaker; we manage our own nodes in ECS right now, just because we want EFS support. It was kind of too-little-too-late, same

Yeah, no EFS in Fargate is a deal-breaker; we manage our own nodes in ECS right now, just because we want EFS support. It was kind of too-little-too-late, same thing with Route53 DNS-based service discovery—it's annoying when you feel nickel-and-dimed into adding an (relatively expensive, IMHO) ELB/ALB per service to be able to direct requests to the backend. I'm hoping EKS will evolve a lot more quickly and stay up to date with the upstream; it would be awesome if AWS has full and stable support for all the major bits like persistent volumes (on EFS or EBS), LoadBalancers (ELBs/ALBs, hopefully more configurable someday), etc. It sounds like the beta period is over and AWS is ramping up for EKS' GA soon.
