We performed a comparison between Amazon EKS 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."What I found most valuable in Amazon EKS is its maturity as a cloud computing technology."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it is very user-friendly."
"It has always helped me. It is the repository where we store our images...The microservices appear to be well-made, and I don't have any comments on them as I don't see any flaws."
"The most valuable features of Amazon EKS are its auto scaling ability and the ability for service discovery."
"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."
"Provides high performance and easy manageability."
"Break down your application into small modules to improve resiliency"
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"It is also important that Linode offers worldwide coverage via multiple data centers. The ability to deploy on multiple servers, worldwide, allows us to have distributed services and failover and redundancy."
"Because of the way that their pricing model is set up, I can scale up or down the size of a customer's server very easily. It makes life very easy for me when they run out of space, need more speed or RAM, etc. I can very easily pay the difference and reboot the machine, and now I have the upgrade that I wanted. That just makes it extremely simple."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"The fact that you can do any Linux distribution is great. You can try out any Linux distribution, even some of the more obscure ones, and they are always keeping them up-to-date. As soon as a new distribution comes out, it is on the platform pretty much the same day, which I find really helpful."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"When I started using Linode, I found its functionality easy to navigate, user-friendly and responsive to my needs. It provides clear reminders about services I'm not using, like DNS zones, which I appreciate."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"I would like to see the user interface improved because it is hard to find and not straightforward."
"Amazon EKS needs to improve customer operations and technical support."
"I would like to see it a little more stable, more operational, and more convenient to develop."
"A cluster is required on-premises, which takes a lot of time."
"The management of the nodes in Amazon EKS should be improved."
"The tool's setup is complex."
"I would like Amazon EKS to be easier to configure on various environments like Windows or Linux installations"
"They should include some essential configuration features to it."
"Its cost can be improved."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"I'm not sure what could be improved at Linode since they're likely already making enhancements, especially with the Akamai acquisition and, I don't have any specific suggestions as I haven't encountered any major issues. I might consider using API for managing DNS records, but overall, I'm satisfied with Linode."
"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."
"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."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"I would like Linode (without cluttering things) to provide some type of DevOps workflow where people are configuring their pipelines from running their tests and deploying to their test server. Once approved by clicking a button, it just gets deployed to production. I would like something like Azure DevOps, which we use for large applications, and would be something nice to have in Linode."
