Why would they? Companies will pay anyway. It’s a no cost for deployments in 1000s of $$$ / month.

- manigandham 8y agoThis sub-thread was about AWS not having the same resource efficiency as Google, and Google also subsidizing with AdSense which is why GKE is free. So in that sense there is no reason why AWS couldnt also make them free. Not every deployment is $1000s/month. I dont care about EKS, but it will hurt adoption if every single cluster requires a $144/month fee for the master when there are offerings from GCP and Azure that are free and far more polished.

Maybe that's the reasoning behind it. If the service isn't really up to standard yet, it definitely makes sense. Smaller players, when they see an unfinished product, will not come back. Keep the small clients away until the service is more polished by price barring, use the bigger clients who can afford the support, iterate and improve. Time will tell.
