Same question. I'm a one man band who wants to be scalable, but doesn't want to get married to a particular cloud. So Kubernetes appears to be the default recommendation. Are there better alternatives?
Or AWS ECS instead of Kubernetes.
Well, there is DC/OS that Kubernetes runs in top of :)
Digital Ocean is about to ship similar product.https://www.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes/
Congratulations on your launch.Did you ever consider using Amazon ECS instead of Kubernetes? I made the move from EKS to ECS a couple of years ago, because ECS doesn't require you to pay for your own cluster control plane, and I feel that ECS integrates more seamlessly with the rest of AWS. I suppose that also means more AWS lock-in, but the Linux-based container images themselves are still portable. And overall, I've found that ECS is just less complicated and lower-maintenance tha
Honestly, you should try kubernetes. The experience is pretty much the same and the feature set is much more mature.
Is there any good reason to use this over the much more mature Kubernetes?
Simple yes, feature rich compared to k8s? Nope.
Just switch from kube to ECS already, if you're in AWS. Much better integration and support.
That’s the product. Not kubernetes. Amazon and Azure offer kuberbetes too.
