Supports multiple tools and has a straightforward setup process
With numerous tools and plugins available for EKS like Graphite and Prometheus, users can effectively manage logs and monitor performance. For beginners, it's essential to grasp the fundamentals of Docker and containerization and understand how containers operate. Once these basics are clear, the next step is to familiarize oneself with Kubernetes and container orchestration concepts. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Easy to install with good support, but the deployment of applications could be simplified
If a customer is focused on application modernization or CI/CD, there are some weaknesses. The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved. There are some issues with the integration of Kubernetes. I hope they can improve it and do much better than they do now. I would like to see the deployment of applications simplified.
