Objectively that's not bad for HA masters in separate AZs, but I think for those who have been using Kubernetes on the Google cloud it's certainly going to have a hard time competing with "you don't pay anything for HA masters at all."

> ingress

from the Twitch stream, it sounds like they have not worked out ingress with ALBs. No mention of Ingress on the announcement page. Twitch stream is here[1]. (it's over now) [2]

This is going to be super expensive to use in the near term.

Just now Nishi Davidson has just mentioned ingress/ALB is a focus of the sig-aws, so hopefully we can expect another announcement soon.

Does this mean ECS is going away? It’s sort of strange that they have two managed-container-deployment products.

Most likely yes. They've seen the writing on the wall, that K8s has won. It will probably just be a slow deprecation like they did with Simple DB.

It wasn't a particularly friendly service for developers, anyway.

It probably won’t go away. They didn’t eliminate Cloud Search when they started offering managed Elastic Search, or SQS when they started offering managed Active MQ. However AWS will likely put resources into EKS vs ECS.
