If you use AWS, just use Fargate. Fargate is the parts of Kubernetes you actually want, without all the unnecessary complexity, and with all the AWS ecosystem as an option. It even autoscales better than Kubernetes. It's cheaper, it's easier, it's better. If you can't use Fargate, use ECS. But for God's sake, don't poorly re-invent your own version of ECS. If you're on AWS, and not using the AWS ecosystem, you're probably wasting time and money. And if you eventually need to use Kubernetes, you can always spin up EKS. Just don't rush to ship on the Ever Given when an 18 wheeler works fine.
