"I like the scalability they're currently providing. Integration was very easy. It was a good experience."
"The most valuable feature is the cluster engine."
"The solution is easy to use."
"EKS has security features that you can't find in competing solutions."
"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 solution is simple to access."
"The most valuable feature, after using Amazon EC2 Container Service for two years, is to set the availability and also for network throughput."
"The cloud services are readily available."
"ECS is flexible and easy to use."
"Implementing the product has helped me monitor the parameters. I utilize tools like CloudWatch and AWS systems to track these parameters. If any issues arise, I alert our developer team to address and resolve them. The product helps to have a global file system. Also, it helps in data replication from region to region."
"The product's initial setup was very straightforward and not complex."
"It has an Auto Scaling group feature. We can use this feature to have an Auto Scaling group to specify a minimum and maximum count for all types of configurations. Based on the specified values, Amazon Elastic Container Service scales the required CPU environmental metrics."
"I would like to see it a little more stable, more operational, and more convenient to develop."
"The goal and idea behind microservices are to always be available and capable of handling any load, no matter how many requests come through...All of these services are great, but I also think it would be useful to have the same technology available in a miniature resource size, enabling the same applications and services to run on a small machine."
"The tool's setup is complex."
"Amazon EKS is predominately public. However, the government has started to have a lot of interest in Kubernetes and is receiving more education on Kubernetes and Amazon EKS.

"My company has faced some stability issues with Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"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 solution's pricing could be improved."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service's security can be improved."
"The solution must improve backup and compatibility around OS like Windows and Mac."
"The solution is expensive compared to other alternatives like Azure."
