I doubt that any of those articles could convince higher management. I don't know what a "respected source" actually means. I general I believe that advice from consulting agency and cloud providers should be taken with a grain of salt.
If you drew the same conclusion from the "Who’s at the Helm?" article than I, there is only one way out which is a curated container catalog. VMware's Tanzu Application Catalog [5] is the only product in that space I'm aware of. I have quoted the price tag on HN, I think it was removed since that, so I won't repeat it here again. In any way it was magnitudes higher than the EKS base price which already seen as a showstopper by many small shops. Bottom line is: it is really hard and really expensive to operate containers in a secure manner. Probably too hard and too expensive that it would be a good idea to start with it before you actually need it.
