We performed a comparison between Amazon EKS and Linode based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."The most valuable feature is the computing speed."
"What I found most valuable in Amazon EKS is its maturity as a cloud computing technology."
"Amazon EKS is like Kubernetes, but it helps manage our nodes and scalability in AWS."
"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."
"It has always helped me. It is the repository where we store our images...The microservices appear to be well-made, and I don't have any comments on them as I don't see any flaws."
"The stability is excellent."
"It's the best option for medium or large enterprises."
"I like its auto-scale feature very much."
"When I started using Linode, I found its functionality easy to navigate, user-friendly and responsive to my needs. It provides clear reminders about services I'm not using, like DNS zones, which I appreciate."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"The solution integrates easily."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"For small businesses and people who have some technical skills and are good with Linux command line, this solution is great. I love Linode because it is very fast. Whereas, the same configuration on Azure and AWS will be so slow. The best thing is that their pricing and speed are great."
"The graphical user interface could be better."
"There is room for improvement in stability. I faced some problems with the App."
"The documentation part of the product is an area of concern that needs to be made easier from an improvement perspective."
"The solution could be improved by adding monitoring, filtering, and logging capabilities to its current CloudWatch features."
"The solution should include a popup for clusters so that all relevant information is visible at the bottom of a page."
"The tool's setup is complex."
"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."
"I would like to see it a little more stable, more operational, and more convenient to develop."
"Everything is up-to-date for a small business. But for big business, they need to improve certain things. For example, there should be better security."
"The product must improve its security."
"The suitability of this solution depends on the features that you need. If you're an Uber-sized company then you're probably not going to want to start using Linode. If you are a large-sized organization then you're going to want to start using one of the bigger providers that gives you the scalability and the feature set that you are probably going to be needing in the future."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"The only improvement in this aspect of the service which I can think of is perhaps a pool of developers who could be hired for those cases where the need goes beyond the support offered."
"It would be helpful if they provided the additional Linux distributions that I prefer using. But there is still a workaround. I can do it without direct support. It's a bit more complicated, but it can still be done."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"They could have more international servers. There are certain places throughout Europe and Eastern Europe which are very open to doing a lot of technology business, such as Romania. Romania is very open to technology. At other service providers, I have stuff in Romania. I think there are some Eastern European locations that would be more open to it. So, if they could have more European points of presence, that would be more helpful."
