It wasn't a particularly friendly service for developers, anyway.
- k__ 8y agoIsn't ECS the AWS optimized version and EKS the more basic stuff?
- scribu 8y agoNo, ECS is a homegrown container orchestration service that has no relationship with Kubernetes. EKS is the optimized-for-AWS version of Kubernetes. There’s also AWS Fargate, which is a more managed version of ECS.
- thramp 8y agoThere were public presentations where Fargate would have an EKS deployment option. (Disclaimer: I work for Amazon, but don't have inside knowledge of the AWS Containers Organization's plans.)
- k__ 8y agoECS was specifically created to work good with AWS. How can EKS be better for AWS customers?
- ec109685 8y agoBecause the open source kubernetes components have thousands of developers contributing to the code, as well a whole ecosystem of components built to kubernetes’ api.
- gtaylor 8y agoECS is their entirely custom container orchestrator. EKS is just hosted Kubernetes with AWS integrations.
- k__ 8y agoYes. ECS is better integrated into AWS. EKS is just what everyone uses plugged into AWS. Can't understand how this should be better.
- outworlder 8y agoTry both, you'll understand.
