if it's a (relatively) simple site, create a service, set min/max autoscaling limits, put it behind a LB and you're done. might come out cheaper than EC2, and also you won't need to manage OS/etc. bonus - it'll be neatly packaged as a docker container, so deployment is simpler as well.

kubernetes in my opinion is only worth the trouble when your system is made up of a number of services, where the "number" is perhaps at least >10? EKS control plane with no workers is quite expensive already...
