  I've been using digital ocean k8 cluster. It's been pretty good. (a few kinks with configuring load balancers, but other than that its good).

  EKS feels like a product where Jeff Bezos walked into a room and said "you're all fired if you don't have a Kubersomethings service up in the next two weeks". The team did it and haven't touched it since. The amount of management they make you do is amazing. Need to upgrade the kernel on your nodes? Fill out a five page CloudFormation workflow, and if you copy-pasted anything wrong, your cluster will just randomly work strangely for no reason. This is what they consider "fully managed"! (There are also lots of neat bugs, like if you create a cluster in the web interface while logged in with SSO, all credentials necessary to access the cluster will disappear in an hour. By design, apparently. So even though they have a web interface, you have to create a role account and use the command-line.) It's really a wondrous product and shows how complacent you can be when you're in first place.
