We performed a comparison between Amazon EKS 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."It is a scalable solution."
"Amazon EKS is like Kubernetes, but it helps manage our nodes and scalability in AWS."
"The most valuable feature is the cluster engine."
"Amazon EKS is a useful solution for modern, cloud-native applications. It offers both horizontal and vertical scaling, which is a big advantage. The tool can also help manage costs while maintaining high availability."
"We haven't faced any major issues in one and a half years of use."
"We do not have to do a lot of administration, such as create virtual machines, or worry about our controllers or nodes going down because the solution is fully managed by Amazon."
"The stability is excellent."
"The product helps us to configure the new environment."
"The scalability seems quite good."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a container orchestrator. It has a huge user base and it is easily incorporated into all of the public clouds."
"All the current features are quite harmonic."
"The solution has many valuable features but the most impressive is the ability to scale an application and continuously monitor if all the components of the application are functioning correctly."
"I am impressed with the product's coupling of resources and flexibility."
"I like the replication center and the configuration."
"Kubernetes offers a lot of great features such as scalability and great portability of applications."
"We use this solution for the hosting of micro-services. Kubernetes helps us to orchestrate all the containers hosting these micro-services."
"It is very cumbersome to assign permissions to users to interact with a cluster."
"The management of the nodes in Amazon EKS should be improved."
"The solution should include a popup for clusters so that all relevant information is visible at the bottom of a page."
"I would like to see it a little more stable, more operational, and more convenient to develop."
"I would like Amazon EKS to be easier to configure on various environments like Windows or Linux installations"
"Amazon EKS is predominately public. However, the government has started to have a lot of interest in Kubernetes and is receiving more education on Kubernetes and Amazon EKS. If we can have the security of Amazon EKS align with the security that is set out by the government it would be much better."
"I'd like to see the solution add a service catalog."
"The documentation part of the product is an area of concern that needs to be made easier from an improvement perspective."
"Kubernetes can improve pod escalation."
"There are several areas where Kubernetes could improve."
"This solution is not very easy to use."
"There is a feature called Terraform and, based on the reviews I have read, it could be improved."
"Currently has a very minimal UI for certain things."
"The setup and operation of the product should be simplified."
"Overall, it's very powerful, but there are also a lot of complexities to manage."
"Absence of a built-in feature for local API creation"
