Amazon Elastic Container Service vs Microsoft Azure Container Service comparison

"For me, the best feature of ECS is Fargate because I don't have to manage anything. Instead, everything is managed by AWS and all I have to do, in essence, is configure my containers and deploy them."

"The tool's most valuable feature is the ability to create revisions on the configurations."

"We use the product for website and email database hosting."

"ECS is a useful platform."

"Overall, I would rate the solution highly over time as there is no reason not to, giving it a rating of 10 out of 10."

"ECS is flexible and easy to use."

"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."

"The solution is user-friendly."

"The product makes things easier since it's self-managed. Therefore, there is less administration workload and operational costs."

"It's a great product if you are in a Microsoft environment."

"Microsoft Azure Container Service has a good level of stability."

"Storage is one of the most beneficial features of cloud providers, specifically Azure because when you are working in their cloud environment, you can easily use a storage interface and a storage object that is provided by Microsoft Azure. In a local environment, you have to be involved in establishing and setting up distributed storage file systems for containers which are very difficult and complex. In a cloud environment, you are not concerned about the storage and the dashboard provides you with storage objects with high availability."

"The most valuable feature is that you don't have to maintain the infrastructure."

"Visualization is the most important feature."

"The most valuable features are that it is simple, and the compression of the data."

"After the load balancer gets attached to Amazon Elastic Container Service clusters, I can't modify, remove, or replace it later."

"For Amazon EC2 Container Service, providing the ability for users to select specific processor, memory, disk, and interface types might be an ideal feature. But, the practicality of offering all possible physical combinations is nearly impossible due to the underlying physical machines. AWS and Azure organize options into groups based on essential components like powerful processors or critical interfaces, considering physical restrictions. While expanding these choices is conceivable, it may not be feasible from a financial and practical perspective. Customers generally comprehend this limitation, as even in their own data centers, exact physical machine requirements are often a result of a combination of factors such as price, availability, and new machine generations."

"We noticed a problem where our container doesn't always run, and the traffic in our secured license exceeds 100%, leading to increased container costs. We are working to understand and reduce this traffic to control costs."

"The solution’s UI should be improved."

"The product can become expensive if you don't choose what you want."

"The tool initially required a significant amount of development time on the backend, but in terms of efficiency, it's a one-time effort."

"Amazon EC2 Container Service's security can be improved."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing of Amazon EC2 Container Service."

"I wasn't very impressed with the documentation."

"In terms of the container strategy, they need to make it more compliant with the Linux OS."

"In the future, I would like to see it generalized and have the ability to better integrate with open-source tools."

"Standard support could be more helpful and responsive."

"f Microsoft Azure can provide GUI dashboards for end-users and administrators to work separately to manage all the Kubernetes clusters without a need to connect to Azure environments and through CLI it would be better."

"The customization is an area that needs improvement."

"Since the product is fully managed, it is expensive."

"I don't exactly deal with the pricing. We have a separate Infra team that deals with the pricing. They are more into the scalability part. Based on our requirements, the pricing will increase. The automation teams will test some of the benefits to see how can we can optimize the cost. They'll have a security manager connection and some alerts based upon the usage to see how to reduce the building cost based upon the installations."

"The solution's cost could be reduced."

"If you increase the sizes, you incur costs to your accounts."

"Amazon Elastic Container Service is an expensive solution."

"Amazon Elastic Container Service's price is good."

"If you want to scale without the traditional methods, the solution is a bit cost-effective."

"Amazon EC2 Container Service is an expensive solution."

"The product's pricing is good."

"The costs depend on the resources that you use, and there is a cost-management system to help calculate it."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"Microsoft Azure Container Service has costs but in the container environment, there are no costs because it is open source and we are using Docker as the container engine in the master and worker nodes established in the Azure environment."
