POC On ECS VS EKS VS EB
There are 3 major services to host and manage your containerized application on AWS. Whether it
is AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS), Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), or Elastic Beanstalk
with a multi-container platform.

Container
If your application requires a lot of different components like message queue, background job, and
it has a lot of microservices then beanstalk should not be your first choice because every time
reconfiguration of envs is not preferrable
Large deployments are slow, and it is difficult to troubleshoot what the exact error is and what is the
source of the error .
Why Stack updates is difficult & not having deployment control in Elastic Beanstalk?
Elastic Beanstalk keeps updating the underlying stack frequently, which makes sense. Elastic
Beanstalk comes out with new stack versions all the time — but we have zero information on what
has changed.However, you do not get any intimation if your current applications will be affected or
not. Only after your existing application breaks, then will you notice the impact of stack upgrade.
Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS)
Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a fully managed container management service that
supports Docker containers and allows users to easily run applications on a managed ECS cluster.
The cluster can be formed with EC2 nodes or through server-less solution Fargate.

2. What security ENI support provided with Elastic beanstalk?
Task
If you move away from AWS to another cloud vendor, then migrating ECS along with other
components of your ecosystem would be challenging.

Pods
There is no extra charge for using ECS itself. However, Each EKS cluster costs $0.10 per hour,
which means an additional cost of up to $72 per month for every Kubernetes cluster you operate.
Conclusion
Why ?
You are developing complex and large applications, where many team members will work on
several deployments simultaneously.
You want an AWS native solution to integrate easily with other AWS solutions.
How ?
