I recently had a deep dive on EKS as part of an architectural review for a large scale (200+) microservice deployment. The recommendation was to strongly avoid EKS. Bad enough that the platform is brittle and expensive, the Amazon engineers sneered at Kubernetes as a "fad" and pushed us heavily towards ECS. I put it down to hubris but not a hope in hell we'd put our services onto a platform built with that attitude.
