Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
We are using multiple inter dependent microservices hosted on EKS clusters. The AWS managed clusters does remove the overhead of maintanence of the master nodes and its components. The auto scaling policies and the node groups help greatly when there is a spike on the platform and does not require any manual intervention. Also it's integration with cloudwatch metrics helps a great deal to monitor the clusters and to find the root cause of the issues related to cpu, memory, pods etc.
Pros
- 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
Cons
- The Kubernetes resources inside the cluster can be seen from the portal but cannot be configured.
- Good performance of platform without hiccups
- Less number of people required to manage cluster
- Easier to deploy new microservices
Depends on the public cloud using and better integrations within the cloud native services. Using AWS cloud for majority of the platform so it was better to use the same vendor service
