We performed a comparison between Amazon Elastic Container Service 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."Once you get the procedure right, and set a pattern, it just works."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service is more stable."
"Overall, it is a user-friendly and efficient tool for managing containers."
"The most valuable feature is the volume size they offer."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service is a stable solution."
"The solution is simple to access."
"The product's most valuable feature is service discovery functionality. It is an excellent feature impacting cost reduction."
"I like the per-second billing."
"I like the replication center and the configuration."
"The most valuable features of Kubernetes are the integration with Docker and there is plenty of documentation available. We work with Docker as a container, and it is more integrated with Docker than VMware Tanzu."
"The scalability seems quite good."
"Kubernetes provides scalable clustering for containers and other means of deployment."
"One of the most valuable features is the thickness of the cloud platform or on-prem file, which makes the solution straightforward to shift and scale. It works well with different types of deployment strategies and networks."
"Kubernetes offers a lot of great features such as scalability and great portability of applications."
"I like that it has really boosted cloud-native development and stood the test of time. The underlying architecture allows one to scale as per the business KPIs much faster."
"The implementation, and the way that they can, with a few clicks, load hundreds of machines without any trouble is very useful."
"The solution's user experience and management are really bad."
"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 must improve backup and compatibility around OS like Windows and Mac."
"Billing is extremely complex."
"They could provide easier options for third-party integrations similar to internal AWS services."
"We noticed a problem where our container doesn't always run, and the traffic in our secured license exceeds 100%, leading to increased container costs. We are working to understand and reduce this traffic to control costs."
"The solution needs to improve backup and pricing."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service needs to improve the menu design. It needs to improve deployment with better documentation."
"There is a feature called Terraform and, based on the reviews I have read, it could be improved."
"Kubernetes can improve by providing a service offering catalog that can be readily populated in Kubernetes."
"They should make documentation simpler for learning."
"Kubernetes is incredibly complicated, so one area of improvement is the ease of administration. I would like a user interface that you can run to help you debug and diagnose problems and suggest how to configure things."
"Some Kubernetes technical support would be helpful."
"The platform could be more convenient to use."
"Kubernetes could improve by having better integration with VMware solutions."
"We would like to see more validation tools added to this solution, this would provide pre-deployment analysis that developers could use before publishing their infrastructure."
