GKE in general seems to be doing better than EKS though. They have a lot of things right and EKS seems to be playing catch-up. For example if you look at any Multi-cluster Kubernetes setup by AWS it's just a giant duct-tape rather than a ground-up solution. GKE worked on fundamentals first like multi-cluster endpoints, multi-cluster services, multi-cluster ingress, multi-cluster config-sync and now bringing it all together under GKE Enterprise.

I did a migration to GKE at a previous company and it was basically great to work with. At the time we had a few teething issues with the most edge-casey bits of our system, to do with getting ingress and CDNs to work well together I think. The end result was a little more manual Terraforming than would have been ideal, but it all worked, and I believe the improvement needed from GCP was on their roadmap and came a few months later.

GKE (with Autopilot) is firmly set in my "day 1 toolbox" if I were to start a new company, assuming K8S was the right tech choice.
