Amazon Elastic Container Service vs HPE Ezmeral Container Platform comparison

"In seven years, we have not faced a single second of downtime."

"It's quick and easy to have the solution working."

"Performance is our top priority. So, if we need to deploy on a high-specification machine, we can choose it from the software. If we just need a low-specification one, we can just choose it based on the requirement handling software configuration."

"The tool helps us with maneuverability. Its most valuable feature is autoscaling."

"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."

"ECS is a useful platform."

"The solution is user-friendly."

"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."

"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."

"The stability of the HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is good, and I rate it an eight out of ten."

"Since it is a managed service for container orchestration, it may limit our control over certain infrastructure functions."

"Amazon Elastic Container Service should simplify its management. It can be difficult for someone who doesn't have much experience with the tool. Also, the tool needs to add the ability to manage networks."

"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 UI should be improved."

"Amazon Elastic Container Service receives a stability rating of eight, as there were some issues where AWS was down recently and experienced a few crashes, but overall, the rating is still pretty high."

"Currently, when scaling with Amazon Elastic Container Service, I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory usage to scale up or scale out; there is no option to monitor both simultaneously."

"Sometimes, the instances fail under the ECS container cluster, and we have to manually go and find out the black sheep in the ECS container instance. We had an issue earlier where one of the instances under the ECS container cluster went down, and we were not able to identify that instance. The instance got terminated, but a new instance did not come up. Therefore, I had to manually get that instance up. It could be optimized better. In production, we normally cannot sustain such things. It can be optimized in terms of instances, durability, and serving the requests of customers."

"They could provide easier options for third-party integrations similar to internal AWS services."

"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."

"HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management."

"Amazon EC2 Container Service is an expensive solution."

"Amazon Elastic Container Service has a decent price, which is neither cheap nor expensive."

"They offer a pay-as-you-go pricing model for the product."

"Licensing can be purchased directly from AWS or used with existing licenses, depending on the company's preference. The licensing structure is complex and depends on factors such as machine size, number of processors, and Container size. Companies have dedicated staff members managing license considerations full-time to find the most cost-effective options. Also, I have seen some companies opt for a combination of AWS and Azure, using more of Azure for Microsoft licenses due to potentially lower costs compared to AWS."

"The pricing of Amazon EC2 Container Service is average."

"We have to pay a monthly licensing fee for Amazon EC2 Container Service."

"The platform is inexpensive."

"The solution is expensive, but not too much."
