Cloud Kubernetes using the same AWS tools you know and love **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** MATTHEW P. | Devops Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2019 **What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)?** I really enjoy the level of integration that Amazon has done to make EKS such a great tool to the lineup of services already offered. The network connections make every pod feel like their own micro ec2 instance, and can be managed as such. There are even tasks in the works to allow specific IAM roles assigned to each service/pod, which will narrow the level of attack to a minuscule level. Each pod then can only access what is needed, and the cluster as a whole becomes much safer. **What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)?** On the flip side of full integration with AWS, it does make trying to pivot between Kubnertes designs that much more challenging. It does make you almost need to design around AWS services, so as much as EKS is considered a certified kubernetes, some of the choices that are the easiest do lock you in to AWS only. **Recommendations to others considering Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS):** If you are looking for a way to deploy Kubernetes onto AWS, you should look into EKS. It offers all that Kubernetes does, and also expands on it by fully integrating with AWS services. **What problems is Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using EKS to migrate from a typical monolithic application to a containerized, scalable application deployed solely on Kubernetes. ### 48.

The application permits to pay per use and to avoid unnecessary charges on the account **What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)?** The platform is quite difficult to be used by non-tecnical people, but the support is really effective and effcient. **Recommendations to others considering Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS):** Try to use services that are not self-provided, such as virtual servers and others. With those services you can save money. **What problems is Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) solving and how is that benefiting you?** Distribution in a large scale of software containerized in docker images. ### 49.
