It's considerably cheaper than EKS. Looks like $75-80 a month vs I believe around $200 per EKS cluster.

Everyone's having EKS cost problems while I'm just sitting over here paying nothing for ECS control planes.

I am not sure how you get to $200/month for an EKS cluster - it is $0.1/hr

I might be thinking of the numbers I put together for dev/stage/prod.

Turned out to be irrelevant. Following their instructions I couldn't get EC2 runtime hosts to attach after a couple hours of fucking around (which is my standard for, 'is this mature enough to use'), while with ECS I hit one button and was up an running. Wasn't a hard choice when we started dockerizing (especially since I could simplify most jobs even further having dev use Fargate, albeit at a premium).

EKS struck me as a feature parity product, not something you'd actually use.

It's the same price as EKS... https://aws.amazon.com/eks/pricing/
