I've read that AWS does not support Kubernetes and builds their own Docker orchestration engine EC2 Container Service. However, on Kubernetes getting-started -page there is a guide on how to run Kubernetes on AWS: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/blob/master/docs/getting-started-guides/aws.md
Which is right?
Pricing and availability A: You pay $0.10 per hour for each Amazon EKS cluster you create and for the AWS resources you create to run your Kubernetes worker nodes. You only pay for what you use, as you use it; there are no minimum fees and no upfront commitments.
Two of the biggest providers of managed Kubernetes services are Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS). Added to AWS in 2018, EKS is a managed Kubernetes service that simplifies running Kubernetes on AWS or on-premises by providing a control plane and nodes.
Amazon EKS is a managed Kubernetes service to run Kubernetes in the AWS cloud and on-premises data centers.
You can install Kubernetes on a normal Amazon EC2 server.
The new container service is a separate offering by Amazon, called ECS.
EDIT: AWS released in 2018 a new container service for Kubernetes called EKS: https://aws.amazon.com/eks/
Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes on AWS. Amazon EKS runs the Kubernetes management infrastructure for you across multiple AWS availability zones to eliminate a single point of failure.
