You are still orchestrating though, you still need to provision nodes and related resources, ensure containers are running on the node and are healthy, mount volumes, clean up old docker resources. Plus you are now completely locked in to EC2, which may not be a concern for you but it is if your product or service needs to run on different cloud platforms like ours, or the CTO decides to change cloud providers one day because they got a sweet deal. I’m glad it works for you but after working with k8s for 2 years I never want to write another Ansible / Terraform script to provision IaaS resources
