#3Great to see - but amazon marketing is approaching Apple levels. Lots of talk of “only service of its kind” where things like Azure Virtual Nodes (ACI + AKS) and Google Cloud Run have been GA for months

#4Why would I choose EKS over ECS? Just for better cross-compatibility with non-Amazon platforms?

#5I just use fargate directly (ECS I guess) - it works pretty nicely for small apps.
I was reading someone wanted EKS but the $180/month for management layer was way too much. Do people use EKS for tiny projects? It seems like a lot of complexity to carry around.

#6> Additionally, you pay the standard cost for each EKS cluster you run, $0.20 per hour.
So AWS K8S tax still applies!

#7Why would I choose EKS over ECS? Just for better cross-compatibility with non-Amazon platforms?
Probably for two main reasons:
* Open APIs, if you care about being able to move away from AWS
* Tooling. People are likely to build a lot of tooling around Kubernetes, relative to Fargate/ECS.
That's my guess.

I don't regularly use AWS services, but it would seem to me that writing operational tooling (deployment descriptors and such) to the Kubernetes API allows more control over the management of your app and more portability to other cloud providers compared to ECS. On the other hand, ECS is a bit more "turnkey", doing more of the detailed control isn't required. It's worth someone with more regular usage weighing in, though.

#9Does this integrate with persistent volumes to allow you to mount EBS into these? If so this is a great offering since it directly integrates with VPC, EBS, ELBs, and everything with no node overhead to worry about.

"Currently there is no support for stateful workloads that require persistent volumes or file systems."
