I have worked with EKS for the most when it comes to k8s and I don't find it as smooth as AWS's other offerings. Check the upgrade guide https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/update-clus... There is still quite a lot of engineering needed even when using a "managed" service.

To be fair EKS is bottom of the barrel. Things are a lot better in GKE land.

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).
