AWS K8 either requires managing the master(s)/etcd yourself or paying amazon to do it via EKS. Amazon charges $150/cluster/month for the masters/etcd in EKS. As I understand it, Google and Digital Ocean charge $0/month for the master(s)/etcd. So if $150/cluster/month is an amount that matters to you then you shouldn't use EKS.
