>> All of this works without requiring that we install or operate our own container scheduler system like Mesos, Kubernetes, Docker Swarm or Core OS Fleet.
You can use kubernetes without installing and operating it yourself on Google Cloud PLatform too, it's called Google Container Engine but it's k8s under the hood.
My experience with ECS is very brief, as contrasted with several months working daily with k8s. My first impressions of ECS was that it is cobbled together from a bunch of existing AWS services, and as such it requires you to get far more involved in the various APIs than kubernetes on GCP does.
Overall kubernetes feels more like a cohesive abstraction because that's what it is. ECS by comparison feels like a solution pieced together out of Amazon's existing proprietary parts because that's what it is. I'm sure they will be improving this.
It would be amazing if Amazon just used kubernetes in the background like Google compute uses it for their container engine. It seems like everyone knows kubernetes did the best job at container orchestration, but everyone wants to keep their own tools (docker, aws, etc.)
