AWS is the leading cloud provider in the market having the highest share. I find it easy to use their service because they have a good documentation on various services available on the platform.

So when you are developing a new feature, it's easy to refer and implement it in your product. Which makes integration very smooth. I use it daily in my job for various features that it provides.

It also has a good customer care support if we need to ask any queries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a little costly sometimes. It may not be very beginner friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon EKS makes running Kubernetes easy by handling setup, scaling, security, and updates, so you can focus on your apps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon EKS can be complex to configure, and costs can add up, especially when scaling or using additional services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Elastic Kubernetes Service offers a lot of flexibility by automatically setting up clusters (Master Node and Worker nodes), Taking care of scaling, backup, networking, and Authentication (IAM), and ensuring deployment across various Availability Zones and Regions.

I felt that the cluster cost is a little high for large-scale applications. Nevertheless, we can manage it effectively through financial operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It efficiently manages Docker containers and provides high availability. Additionally, since most Kubernetes components are managed by AWS, we don’t need to handle version upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The implementation is a bit complex, as it requires prior Kubernetes experience to manage the cluster, and the pricing is slightly high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service provides the best cluster environments for our containerized applications. Great scaling features and auto pod creation help ensure high availability of an application. I personally loved the option of auto-upgrading the cluster. Easy to implement and configure.

Amazon EKS could provide more guides about the setup of security groups and rule allocation. Sometimes, due to incorrect resource allocation, it causes problems in initializing the cluster. It should have proper logs so that users can troubleshoot easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Managed kubernetes are always the best when you are dealing with production environment. When an outage occurs you clearly know that its nothing to do with EKS core. Unlike if you host kubernetes inhouse you ahve to think of 1000 places where it might go wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would have been great if amazon would have provided an IDE to look at the cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS makes it easy to move our local servers to the cloud, and the features it provides make it easy to implement our software in the cloud. At the beginning of our migration, we had some issues moving to the cloud, but at that time, the documentation and support provided by AWS made the process seamless. Now, we have fully moved to AWS and use our local servers less often, serving as backup servers. We recently started using services like SSM, Elastic Beanstalk, Lambda, etc., which made our workflow seamlessly integrate with our existing workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

During the early stages, AWS didn't provide us with options like entry-level pricing for some major services for testing with our existing infrastructure. If we wanted to use that service for a bit, we needed to pay for the full service. Now, there is an option for choosing which kind of configuration you want.
