I find it a bit contradictory to argue for boring technology and operate it with Kubernetes at the same time.
It'd argue that there's more documentation available than for any home-grown deployment system.
That's why I consider it battle-tested for my purposes.
Also, the post explains that boring does not necessarily mean "old". It's about using what you know best.
Sure.

Not at all.
AWS never wanted EKS to be a thing, that is why it's overpriced and not very good.
Unfortunately ECS is crap and Fargate can't save it at this point.
Hopefully they get over that soon and make the industry standard stuff like EKS and MSK good and actually price competitive with running it yourself (accounting for ease of management premium ofc).
