DO's K8S is more equivalent to AWS's EKS offering, so of course ECS which abstracts away pretty much all of the other parts of K8s is going to require less maintenance. It's sort of a false equivalence to say ECS == that solution.
On EKS, you need to do the same version updates with the same amount of terror.
You do pay the extra for the further management to just run containers somewhere!
(you might want to say "every" instead of over, "is" instead of "ist")
I definitely want to say is instead of ist but it is bugging me every couple of months. You do the upgrade and 6 months later it needs another one. No LTS in sight
