Elastic Container Service (ECS) has just been launched as of the time of this chapter's writing. AWS is preparing a networking plugin to differentiate itself from other offerings, called the vpc-cni. This allows for pod networking in Kubernetes to use Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) on AWS. With ECS, you do have to pay for manager nodes, which is a different path to that taken by Microsoft and Google. ECS' startup procedure is also currently more complex and doesn't have single-command creation via the CLI.
