No ECS is definitely not going away. Having multiple ways of doing something is not strange for Amazon, in fact its what you should expect from Amazon. Just look at how many different database options there are! ECS will remain as the free option that is great for small workloads, and companies that are going all in on AWS. It has the tightest integrations with other AWS services. EKS is a good option for companies that don't mind spending a little more to run the open source version so that they have portability or a consistent environment between their on-premise and the cloud. While EKS does integrate with other AWS services it has to do so through plugins and controllers that aren't quite as tightly coupled, since EKS is just the same open source Kubernetes that you can run anywhere.
