A fairly priced solution that helps in the managing and autoscaling of services
What is our primary use case?

What is most valuable?
Through Amazon EKS, we can have the blue-green deployment very easily.
What needs improvement?
The management of the nodes in Amazon EKS should be improved. AWS should reduce the constant upgrades of the nodes of Amazon EKS or EC2 machines.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Amazon EKS for almost two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Amazon EKS a seven out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate Amazon EKS a nine out of ten for scalability.

Good auto scaling and service discovery abilities
What is our primary use case?
We have a service hosting platform, and we use Amazon EKS for hosting web services.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Amazon EKS are its auto scaling ability and the ability for service discovery.
What needs improvement?
Amazon EKS's vulnerability management of data could be improved. Also, concerning vulnerability and version upgrades, many more things could be pulled into the control plane rather than keeping it in the data plane and having the users figure out how to upgrade their portions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Amazon EKS for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Amazon EKS has good stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Amazon EKS's scalability is very low. Quite a few people are using the solution in our organization.
How are customer service and support?
We had no issues contacting Amazon EKS's technical support and usually got the necessary support. However, as with any Kubernetes installation, only the control plane is covered by Amazon, not the data plane. So if there are issues on the data plane side, Amazon cannot be of much help.
How was the initial setup?
Amazon EKS’s initial setup was moderately easy. Amazon EKS's deployment was fast. We took the help of an automated deployment system, and the deployment was done in a couple of minutes.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Amazon EKS’s pricing is ok compared to its competitors.
What other advice do I have?
Amazon EKS is a good platform to use, but scale up before you start deploying in industrial quantities.
Overall, I rate Amazon EKS an eight out of ten.
Good stability and easy initial setup process

It is challenging to host the applications in the existing VPC of the solution. They should include some essential configuration features to it.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using the solution for the last two to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. I rate its stability as an eight or nine. Although, it is difficult to find a stable version sometimes.

The solution is cheaper than AKS. Its license costs $73. The customers have to pay extra depending on the instances they want to deploy for hosting the application. I rate its pricing as a four.
