Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the cluster engine.""The most valuable features of Amazon EKS are its auto scaling ability and the ability for service discovery.""It is the best service because it has proper security packages.""Amazon EKS can be used to implement and create clusters.""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.""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.""EKS has security features that you can't find in competing solutions."

More Amazon EKS Pros →

"The product's most valuable feature is cloud simulation to predict application behavior on the cloud.""It is a compact, complete solution that performs well.""Docker is very helpful for taking the code from development and applying it to the end user.""The most valuable aspect is the excellent support. In addition, the billing system is really easy to understand.""You need to make an architectural runway before actually starting to implement Docker Compose, especially in a distributed environment.""Main products are portable.""Now it is easier to set up the development environment and also to test the applications on the pipelines.""The most valuable feature is its ease of use."

Cons
"I'd like improved traffic handling and additional application details within the system.""It is very cumbersome to assign permissions to users to interact with a cluster.""The graphical user interface could be better.""The main thing to improve with Amazon EKS is the price. However, these services can be very expensive. For example, in countries like Turkey, the cost is too high. That's why we offer our cloud solutions locally. We developed hybrid solutions, but their prices are still very high.""The management of the nodes in Amazon EKS should be improved.""There is room for improvement in stability. I faced some problems with the App.""I am not impressed with the tool's Amazon console. It also needs to add security features.""They should include some essential configuration features to it."

More Amazon EKS Cons →

"More integrations with other platforms would be beneficial.""I think this solution needs better security due to more risks from the outside world.""Sometimes the basic support is a bit difficult if you have a firewall and cloud servers behind the firewall and then try to implement the backup solution, it is a bit difficult to do by yourself.""With the Mirantis runtime being removed from Kubernetes, which is the industry-wide standard for orchestration of containers, I think it's going in a direction that is not super scalable.""The orchestration and tracing should be improved.""The initial setup was quite complex.""This product will only be useful if it can successfully run legacy applications in the cloud.""There could be an automation feature included in the product. It will speed up application processes and will not require scripting codes."

    Overview

    Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a fully managed Kubernetes service. Customers such as Intel, Snap, Intuit, GoDaddy, and Autodesk trust EKS to run their most sensitive and mission critical applications because of its security, reliability, and scalability.

    EKS is the best place to run Kubernetes for several reasons. First, you can choose to run your EKS clusters using AWS Fargate, which is serverless compute for containers. Fargate removes the need to provision and manage servers, lets you specify and pay for resources per application, and improves security through application isolation by design. Second, EKS is deeply integrated with services such as Amazon CloudWatch, Auto Scaling Groups, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), providing you a seamless experience to monitor, scale, and load-balance your applications. Third, EKS integrates with AWS App Mesh and provides a Kubernetes native experience to consume service mesh features and bring rich observability, traffic controls and security features to applications. Additionally, EKS provides a scalable and highly-available control plane that runs across multiple availability zones to eliminate a single point of failure.
    EKS runs upstream Kubernetes and is certified Kubernetes conformant so you can leverage all benefits of open source tooling from the community. You can also easily migrate any standard Kubernetes application to EKS without needing to refactor your code.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Mirantis Container Cloud stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its deployment of images and the portability of its containers. PeerSpot users take note of the advantages of these features in their reviews:

    Cristina C., Test Architect at a tech services company, writes of the solution, “The idea that you can configure an image, deploy it, and it can be reused and redeployed with the same setup over and over again is a valuable feature.

    A DevOps Engineer at a tech services company, notes, “I like that Mirantis’ main products of containers are very portable. Any possible issues, problems, or troubles are fixed with improvements of the platform itself. Any constraints that Mirantis [has], have been fixed with other products or features that Mirantis provides.”
