#153: AWS and Kubernetes: Now What?

Episode Summary

Following Amazon's many announcements at AWS re:Invent 2017, including its support for Kubernetes in its new EKS offering, many wondered how Amazon is going to position itself within the Kubernetes community, and hows its EKS and Fargate offerings will impact ECS and the Kubernetes community as a whole. Developers noticed that 

Fargate almost negates the need for EKS, which raised questions with our guests on today's episode of The New Stack Analysts, where we were joined by Matt Asay, Head of Developer Ecosystems at Adobe, and Krishnan Subramanian, Founder and Chief Research Advisor, Infrastructure, Application Platforms and DevOps. 

Amazon noted its continued exponential growth of its ECS platform while at re:Invent. “I was surprised to see the numbers. That’s pretty impressive. But if ECS is growing at such a fast rate, why would you want to bring in Kubernetes? That’s a question I’m still trying to answer," said Subramanian.
