100%. To answer the OP's question: my nightmare is having to use it at all. I work with small, very early-stage companies whose applications by and large are not complicated. Perhaps at some level of scale and/or complexity, k8s makes sense. For the vast majority of the cases I see, something like ECS does everything they need, while being significantly more simple to understand, develop for, and debug.
- Thiez 4y agoDo you still recommend they host their applications in containers (e.g. Docker)? I feel like it's fairly low effort to start out that way, but can be a pain to add later.
- anderiv 4y agoBeing that they're all using ECS, yes containerizing using Docker is a prerequisite.
- Thiez 4y agoDoh. I am only familiar with Azure, and was confusing ECS with ordinary VMs. Sorry about the stupid question!
- samspenc 4y agoNo worries, the cloud acronyms overlap so much these days, if it's helpful: EC2: Elastic Compute service, bare VMs. ECS: Elastic Container service, Docker containers EKS: Elastic Kubernetes service
