AWS ECS is basically a docker swarm cluster customised by AWS to include auto-scaling of service containers/nodes and generally integrating better with other AWS services.
k8s is that orchestration layer, but on anabolic steroids. Plus a standardised interface on any cloud platform you might need to run on.
With bigger muscles comes more complexity, more maintenance work etc. (was designed for orchestrating millions of containers, so way more complexity)
which is why everyone always moans about it. (including me)
It’s a very cool and very useful piece of tech when yielded correctly. Just don’t expect it to work like a “kitchen sink”.
