Speakers: Shem Patterson, Cory Twitty

While I love the idea of managed Kubernetes and AWS in general, EKS does not solve all of the problems and has significant limitations. Our talk is about exposing some of the good and bad of running EKS as your managed Kubernetes service.

Think EKS is the answer to all of your Kubernetes problems? Think again. While the managed Kubernetes service provided by AWS does reduce some of the overhead of supporting your Kubernetes cluster, it does not eliminate all of your Kubernetes workload. We will discuss the good, bad and a little of the ugly that EKS offers as a service.
