We tried using EKS. Unfortunately, HorizontalPodAutoscalers are configured to use metrics-server and it is not currently possible to run metrics-server on EKS. Had to replace it with a kops + terraform setup.

This is really out of date. Even IE11 supports flexbox. It is trivial to center things both vertically and horizontally, and easy to make a “Holy Grail” layout. If you don't need to support IE11 you can use CSS Grid and do the entire l
