Hi,

AWS doesn't support kubernetes natively. We allow you to either launch a new kubernetes cluster on AWS by launching new VMs and installing kubernetes, weave and etcd or we allow you to sync an existing kubernetes cluster running on AWS by providing the k8s master endpoint.

We don't currently support ECS clusters but that is on our roadmap.

just for curiosity, what do you use for creating a k8s cluster on aws? Do you use any of the available open source tools like kube-up, coreOS on aws, kops, etc? And if I decide to stop using distelly and preserve the cluster created, will I be able to do so?

We have our own software to create k8s clusters in AWS using weave for networking. We looked at kube-up etc but our customers wanted functionality that didn't force them to create a brand new VPC created but instead just launch multiple clusters in an existing VPC.

FYI we are going to release our kube laucher as open source in the next few months. If you sign up for our mailing list or email me at [e-mail] (or follow us on twitter / fb) i'll notify you when thats available if you're interested.
