"Amazon EC2 Container Service is a flexible product from Amazon. You can put it in the Auto Scaling group for high availability. There are also a lot of choices for pricing."
"It has helped our organization greatly and especially on weekends because we have many transactions as our users are buying some kind of tools and paying online."
"It's quick and easy to have the solution working."
"The solution is quite scalable and allows you to launch multiple EC2s within minutes."
"I like Amazon EC2 Container Service's elasticity."
"They handle the backup process quite well. They automatically encapsulate it, including container backups, without relying heavily on the client's involvement. This is a significant advantage compared to other providers where clients often need to manage the process more independently. It's a feature that I find suitable and beneficial."
"Once you get the procedure right, and set a pattern, it just works."
"The tool is very powerful, scalable, and easy to manage. Its autoscaling features helped us save costs."
"Visualization is an important factor for me, and I don't think that the visuals within ECS are good enough because it doesn't show you all the details you might need to see at a glance."
"The existing domain-joined capability the solution provides during the initial boot-up of the compute should be streamlined and made a little robust."
"Probably, they should include automated graphing, and monitoring solutions."
"The product can become expensive if you don't choose what you want."
"EC2 is not self-explanatory enough."
"While it is generally stable, there have been some issues, especially when working on client projects where troubleshooting was needed."
"Since it is a managed service for container orchestration, it may limit our control over certain infrastructure functions."
"Sometimes, the instances fail under the ECS container cluster, and we have to manually go and find out the black sheep in the ECS container instance. We had an issue earlier where one of the instances under the ECS container cluster went down, and we were not able to identify that instance. The instance got terminated, but a new instance did not come up. Therefore, I had to manually get that instance up. It could be optimized better. In production, we normally cannot sustain such things. It can be optimized in terms of instances, durability, and serving the requests of customers."
"Google Container Engine needs to be able to manage network products."
