I think you missed the biggest value proposition of Kubernetes: the scheduling and container orchestration are nice, but that's not why you use it. Portability

I think you missed the biggest value proposition of Kubernetes: the scheduling and container orchestration are nice, but that's not why you use it. Portability is the killer feature. Being able to stand up reproductively a clustered application without relying on custom-made sh script and ansible playbooks is a godsend. Using ECS goes against portability and just coerce you into more vendor lock-ins.

This is big in enterprise software. Some corporate customers have bare-metal servers, some OpenStack, some run in AWS, some on VMWare, some on Azure, more exotic options are not rare either. Kubernetes smooths out the differences, letting you develop an application against a standard, google-able API that is deployable anywhere.
