We performed a comparison between Amazon EKS and Kubernetes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is easy-to-set up."
"Through Amazon EKS, we can have the blue-green deployment very easily."
"The solution's Autoscaler option allows for an increase in worker notes whenever particular thresholds are exceeded."
"The stability is excellent."
"Break down your application into small modules to improve resiliency"
"AWS cloud services are flexible and have thorough documentation. AWS also has data centers all over the world."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"We do not have to do a lot of administration, such as create virtual machines, or worry about our controllers or nodes going down because the solution is fully managed by Amazon."
"I like that it gives you all the flexibility, for example, auto-scaling. Everything is figured out exactly right. It manages all your workloads without much intervention. It can scale in, scale out, and with security. Everything looks pretty good compared to the old legacy way of working."
"With the use of our blueprint, my experience with the initial setup has been a ten out of ten where one is difficult and ten is easy."
"There are features that come out of the box with Kubernetes, with respect to scaling, reliability, etc. It's the leading container management platform. There are other competing ones, but this is the leading one. It has multiple instances of the application running. If one of them goes down, the other one automatically spins up."
"All the current features are quite harmonic."
"The autoscaling feature is the most valuable. Kubernetes itself is an orchestration tool. It automatically detects the load, and it automatically spins up the new Pod in the form of a new microservice deployment."
"You have different pods that interact with each other, so you can identify problems with one pod and replace it."
"I am impressed with the product's coupling of resources and flexibility."
"The scalability seems quite good."
"I would like Amazon EKS to be easier to configure on various environments like Windows or Linux installations"
"It is very cumbersome to assign permissions to users to interact with a cluster."
"They should include some essential configuration features to it."
"I believe the initial setup could be a better experience and faster customer support."
"They should enhance the Jira integration."
"A cluster is required on-premises, which takes a lot of time."
"I would like to see the user interface improved because it is hard to find and not straightforward."
"I'd like to see the solution add a service catalog."
"Kubernetes can improve pod escalation."
"The tool needs to improve its UI. The tool is very complex and basic."
"The initial setup of Kubernetes is difficult. However, if you are used to the flow then it is easier. The length of time it takes for the implementation depends on the project."
"There is not a large ecosystem surrounding Kubernetes, making it difficult to identify the right problem due to the vast number of solutions."
"The management needs to be improved."
"We would to have additional features related to security within the API, instead of needing to install add-ons."
"The security of the solution is in its infancy and needs a lot of work."
"The setup and operation of the product should be simplified."
Amazon EKS is ranked 2nd in Container Management with 37 reviews while Kubernetes is ranked 4th in Container Management with 67 reviews. Amazon EKS is rated 8.6, while Kubernetes is rated 8.6. The top reviewer of Amazon EKS writes "Can be used to implement and create clusters, but assigning permissions to users is difficult". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Kubernetes writes "Container orchestrator that deploys our machine learning solutions". Amazon EKS is most compared with OpenShift Container Platform, VMware Tanzu Mission Control, Rancher Labs, Linode and HashiCorp Nomad, whereas Kubernetes is most compared with VMware Tanzu Mission Control, Google Kubernetes Engine, Nutanix Kubernetes Engine NKE, OpenShift Container Platform and HPE Ezmeral Container Platform.
