Kubernetes on AWS: Zero to hero
summary
Compares EKS, ECS and Fargate with concrete tradeoffs: EKS adds a managed Kubernetes control plane but charges extra and needs expertise, ECS is simpler but more vendor lock, and 32% of AWS container environments run on Fargate is cited; shows a one‑command shortcut eksctl create cluster to launch a usable cluster; demos use real tools — Helm deploys WordPress (with secrets and external IP) and Linkerd’s emoji app shows live success rates and latencies — both demos complete successfully.
