EC2 vs ECS vs EKS — Choosing the Right Technology for Your Application 🚀

Deciding between EC2, ECS, and EKS for deploying applications can be a challenge! In my latest video, I break down the key differences to help you pick the best solution for your needs:

🔹 EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud): Ideal for those who want full control over the server environment. It’s versatile, giving you access to a range of configurations but requires manual scaling and management.

🔹 ECS (Elastic Container Service): AWS’s container orchestration solution for those looking for managed services with less infrastructure overhead. Great for containerized apps, and best for users who want to simplify setup without needing deep Kubernetes knowledge.

🔹 EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service): Perfect for Kubernetes enthusiasts who need a managed Kubernetes environment. It’s a powerful option for microservices architectures and large-scale applications, though it requires knowledge of Kubernetes.

In the video, I cover:
✅ Pros and cons of each service
✅ Ideal use cases for each technology
✅ Key considerations for cost, scalability, and management
