We performed a comparison between Amazon Virtual Private Cloud and AWS Fargate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Compute Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One important tool we use is Transit Gateway, which helps connect different parts of our network. We also use Internet Gateways, NAT Gateways, and Route Tables to ensure our applications run smoothly on AWS. While most people use these basics, some specialized tools, like Transit Gateway, are useful for specific needs."
"It is an user-friendly solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"For network security, Network Access Control Lists (NACLs). They work very well. For example, instead of leaving a resource open to the world with something like 0.0.0.0/0, we can use NACLs to be much more specific with our network traffic rules. It adds an important security layer to our infrastructure."
"It is a very stable product...Amazon Virtual Private Cloud gives you security."
"It is very simple to define a network, connect subnets, and set up routing"
"We can set up our own data center."
"The product’s most valuable feature is allowing us to control access for specific workloads or traffic within a particular region."
"AWS Fargate has many valuable services. It does the job with minimal trouble. It's very observable. You can see what's going on and you have logs. You have everything. You can troubleshoot it. It's affordable and it's flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Fargate is that it's self-managed. You don't have to configure your own clusters or deploy any Kubernetes clusters. This simplifies the initial deployment and scaling process."
"If you create your deployment with a good set of rules for how to scale in, you can just set it and forget it."
"I like their containerization service. You can use Docker or something similar and deploy quickly without the know-how related to, for example, Kubernetes. If you use AKS or Kubernetes, then you have to have the know-how. But for Fargate, you don't need to have the know-how there. You just deploy the container or the image, and then you have the container, and you can use it as AWS takes care of the rest. This makes it easier for those getting started or if you don't have a strong DevOps team inside your organization."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Fargate is its ease of use."
"We appreciate the simple use of containers within this solution, it makes managing the containers quick and easy."
"Fargate itself is a stable product. We are quite satisfied with its performance."
"The tool is not scalable."
"AWS is a bit costlier than other public clouds."
"The initial setup is complex."
"They should release a trial version."
"It would be beneficial to introduce more managed features and enhance customization options in the product."
"The solution could improve its price."
"They could improve the platform's ability to establish VPN connections to interact with resources outside the network."
"The performance insights and VPC flow logs should be in the form of GUI or dashboards. The solution needs to work on integration with the transit gateway and multiple accounts."
"AWS Fargate could improve the privileged mode containers. We had some problems and they were not able to run."
"If there are any options to manage containers, that would be good. That relates more to the cost point. For example, over the next three months, I'll be making a comparison between solutions like CAST AI and other software-as-a-service platforms that offer Kubernetes management with an emphasis on cost reduction."
"We would like to see some improvement in the process documents that are provided with this product, particularly for auto-scaling and other configuration tools that are a bit complicated."
"I would like to see the older dashboard instead of the newer version. I don't like the new dashboard."
"The main area for improvement is the cost, which could be lowered to be more competitive with other major cloud providers."
"We faced challenges in vertically scaling our workload."
"I heard from my team that it's not easy to predict the cost. That is the only issue we have with AWS Fargate, but I think that's acceptable. AWS Fargate isn't user-friendly. Anything related to Software as a Service or microservice architecture is not easy to implement. You're required to have DevOps from your side to implement the solution. AWS Fargate is just a temporary solution for us. When we grow to a certain level, we may use AKS for better control."
