HA seems like a poor choice as a default. I don't want to pay ~$150/month for dev and staging clusters, and I certainly don't need them to be HA. IIUC, Google/GKE and Microsoft/AKS are single-zone by default... free for masters, but not free for HA.

Google and Amazon are enterprise services. If you consider $150 too expensive, you are not part of the target customers.
That's $0.0257/hr or $0.0070/hr preemptible. $5/mo minimum*
This is not even the same ballpark.
*(to be fair, the $5/mo minimum does not include a private network and a load balancer, and you will almost definitely need both in order to actually do anything with a cluster.)

Been waiting for this for... 7 months now since its announcement at ReInvent? My initial impressions are very negative. What even is the point of this? The clusters themselves do nothing, they're just a control plane you pay $144/month for. You need to add nodes from CloudFormation? Is there any integration at all with CodeBuild/CodeDeploy/CodePipeline? No mention anywhere of Ingress... I sure hope that's built in, b…
FYI: EKS is currently only available in us-west-2 (Oregon) and us-east-1 (N. Virginia)

The Google GKE offering can operate with a single g1-small worker.

Ouch, no option to schedule pods onto the control plane for small clusters?
