The big advantages I see:<p>AWS ecosystem. Everyone is already running stuff here, or wants to.<p>Particularly data. If I have important stuff in RDS or Redshift I want to run my apps in a VPC next to that.<p>Managed service. I don&#x27;t want to be responsible for etcd. I manage 150 clusters and counting. I couldn&#x27;t do this without ECS and DynamoDB and their excellent SLAs.<p>I am aware GKE does this. When I use Kubernetes that&#x27;s what I&#x27;ll use.
