We performed a comparison between Amazon Elastic Container Service 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."They handle the backup process quite well. They automatically encapsulate it, including container backups, without relying heavily on the client's involvement. This is a significant advantage compared to other providers where clients often need to manage the process more independently. It's a feature that I find suitable and beneficial."
"Implementing the product has helped me monitor the parameters. I utilize tools like CloudWatch and AWS systems to track these parameters. If any issues arise, I alert our developer team to address and resolve them. The product helps to have a global file system. Also, it helps in data replication from region to region."
"What I really like about Amazon ECS is its simplicity and ease of use. Amazon also has really good security."
"We primarily employ the Linux platform in terms of architecture. It utilizes its database, MySQL. Additionally, for CI/CD processes, we rely on Amazon CodeBuild. Furthermore, we use Amazon S3 storage to store specific static files. Currently, the system is running smoothly, and we don't actively perform any maintenance tasks as everything is automated."
"I like Amazon EC2 Container Service's elasticity."
"The product's most valuable feature is service discovery functionality. It is an excellent feature impacting cost reduction."
"It has helped our organization greatly and especially on weekends because we have many transactions as our users are buying some kind of tools and paying online."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The solution integrates easily."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"When it comes to the Linode Kubernetes Engine and the amount of automation it provides, it's awesome, it's a game-changer. If a process randomly dies, it could take me a while to notice that it has died, if I haven't set up monitoring. With Kubernetes, it will just restart itself using Heartbeats."
"While it is generally stable, there have been some issues, especially when working on client projects where troubleshooting was needed."
"The solution’s UI should be improved."
"Billing is extremely complex."
"I also believe there are limitations in terms of upgrading. The software has the concept of dedicated servers that you can manage. However, an issue arises when you can't match one operating system with another that you've already purchased. You can't simply merge them; instead, you have to buy a completely new one. This limitation has caused some challenges for us."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service needs to improve the menu design. It needs to improve deployment with better documentation."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing costs. There can be better licensing costs."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"My company has faced some stability issues with Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"I don't know how all of their services work, but my understanding is that they're not offering the entry-level machine for someone who just wants to own their own web page."
"They are already working on the firewalls and VLANs, which need improvement, and are now in beta. I am on the beta program for the firewalls, but I can't use it yet because they are only in Mumbai and Australia, and I am not in those data centres. This is the one thing that I have been waiting for almost since the day that I joined them, so it is nice that they are doing that. The VLANs will be an improvement as well, and I am keen and waiting for that."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"It's not really an issue with Linode itself but upgrading Linux major versions can be challenging. It would be be fantastic if Linode developed a way to ease transitioning to a major new Linux upgrade."
"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."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
