I tend to agree that for most things on AWS, EC2 + ASG is superior. It's very polished. EKS is very bare bones. I would probably go so far as to just run Kubernetes on EC2 if I had to go that route.

But in general k8s provides incredibly solid abstractions for building portable, rigorously available services. Nothing quite compares. It's felt very stable over the past few years.

Sure, EC2 is incredibly stable, but I don't always do business on Amazon.

At first I thought your "in general" statement was contradicting your preference for EC2 + ASG. I guess AWS is such a large part of my world that "in general" includes AWS instead of meaning everything but AWS.
