Facilitates fast deployment and simplifies management

Managing complex environments effortlessly while focusing on growth

Pros

"The most beneficial aspect of Amazon EKS is that it helps manage the Kubernetes master node, so I don't need to maintain the master node, including tasks like upgrading."

Cons

"Amazon EKS is very scalable, but scaling can sometimes cause trouble. When Amazon EKS scales up or down, there might be occasional intermediate pod interruptions, though it's rare."

Pros

"Based on my experience, the best features are backed up with extensive security that AWS allows and is firmly integrated into their entire AWS cloud."

Cons

"The major area for improvement I've seen involves deep diving into one CSP with no equivalent solution elsewhere."

With the serverless option, you can deploy everything and AWS handles the infrastructure

multi-application deployment using advanced networking and autoscaling features

Pros

"Amazon EKS is very stable, and when properly configured, I rate it ten out of ten."

Cons
