You also get a private registry. And all the complexities of authentication are wrapped up in a nice package.<p>And upgrading your cluster is easy too. Just one command and it rolls it out server-by-server, doing a full health check afterwards.<p>k8s (not specific to GCE) also integrates with network drives, so attaching and maintain persistent storage is really easy.<p>I&#x27;ve used ECS and it feels just so vanilla by comparison. AWS should have just built a hosted cluster system, rather than one from scratch.
