User Testimonials
	Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)	Cycle
Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon AWS It is well suited when you want to have a Kubernetes cluster in AWS Cloud and want to avoid all the management overhead of maintaining your own cluster in terms of the control plane. EKS seems to be lacking in features when compared with AKS and GKE. Backups, service mesh, and monitoring have a lot of room for improvements.

Pros	Amazon AWS Upgrade the kubernetes clusters to the latest version with a single click Auto scaling policies to automatically scale the nodes Detailed logs and events on the cluster within the EKS clusters portal, cloudwatch logs and metrics Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cycle No answers on this topic
Cons	Amazon AWS AWSIAM integration with Kubernetes RBAC could be better. Enabling some add-ons like service mesh, and monitoring will be nice instead of having to install them yourself after the creation of the cluster. EKS bootstrap time could be faster ...

Usability	Amazon AWS Cluster maintanence is reduced, easier to deploy resources, great observability insights Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cycle No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Amazon AWS It feels like AWS is behind the EKS race, the only advantage I'm able to see right now is the support of IPv6, however, trying to promote AWS alternatives that are different from the market and more like a vendor locking solutions like ECS/Fargate have kept AWS behind and focusing on the wrong things. EKS needs to really improve its integration with the Kubernetes ecosystem and have an enterprise solution for monitoring, backups, and service mesh.
