With EKS maintenance of master nodes is not needed anymore. Reliability of the service is another plus. Furthermore the easy integration with vertical cluster autoscaler allows to scale up/down nodes saving many money. > > **Cons**: Managed master node means you can't have totale control over the cluster. Limited network management is an example. Support for the latest version of K8S is usually not really fast. > > With EKS we can concentrate our effort on the infrastructure and on our applications. No more problem related to master node, down status, upgrades and so on. Excellent. ----- ### "One of the best managed Kubernetes implementations out there" — 5.0/5 > **Gaspar** | *July 6, 2023* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Flexible upgrades. Compared with other implementations, such as GKE on which they force upgrades without noticing, you can control when and how the cluster is gonna be upgraded.- IAM integration.- EKS Managed add-ons- Managed nodes based on Fargate or EC2- Terraform EKS module maintained officially by AWS- Integrations with almost all AWS services, including ALB as an Ingress controller- Secrets encryption using KMS > > **Cons**: Nothing comes to mind right now regarding improvements (compared with major providers, such as GKE) > > By using EKS (migrated from VMs) we've improved costs, reliability and ease of deployments. Plus, thanks to Kubernetes namespaces, we created sandbox per git branch, which is a big plus for development teams. ----- ### "Convenient and reliable Kubernetes on AWS" — 4.0/5 > **Isak** | *December 29, 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Amazon EKS simplifies the process of running Kubernetes on AWS. You don't have to worry about setting up and maintaining the infrastructure for your Kubernetes clusters. It integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, making it pretty easy to integrate with other AWS tools and services. > > **Cons**: Amazon EKS can be more expensive than running your own Kubernetes clusters, as you have to pay for the managed service. Some users may prefer to have more control over the infrastructure and configuration of their Kubernetes clusters, which is not possible with Amazon EKS. > > Amazon EKS is a convenient and reliable option for running Kubernetes on AWS. It is a good choice for users who want to focus on running their applications rather than managing the underlying infrastructure, but it may not be the best fit for those who want more control over their Kubernetes clusters and it is quite expensive for small clusters. ----- ### "Amazon EKS is the solution to 8/10 of your cluster requirements" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *October 6, 2022* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Using Amazon EKS you have very less to worry about underlying infrastructure, so you can focus more on getting your features \& services deployed. It is highly scalable, highly available \& AWS support has always been on spot. Depending upon your needs, you can choose to manage the underlying nodes \& pods manually, through node groups or fargate if your product is not too complex \& can be automatically managed by AWS. > > **Cons**: Cost is one of the biggest cons, just comparing it with other similar kubernetes services. Specially if you are using fargate. Another con would be on dashboard management \& automatic alerts in case resources or pods are left running. > > Overall Amazon EKS is the way to go for best kubernetes cloud service. AWS are still the leaders in cloud services. ----- ### "One of the best Managed Kubernetes Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *March 23, 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Control Plane management is very easy, we just have to focus on the addons. Managed Node Group and Self Managed Node group are good mix of flexibility and reliability principle. EKS Blueprint is another thing which is supported AWS community. > > **Cons**: Sometimes they release latest Kubernetes version on EKS little late. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1017583/amazon-eks?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1017583/amazon-eks) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
