Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."I like Amazon EC2 Container Service's elasticity."
"Scalability and availability are the most valuable features of Amazon Elastic Container Service."
"The solution is simple to access."
"The tool helps us with maneuverability. Its most valuable feature is autoscaling."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon EC2 Container Service is its flexibility."
"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."
"The product's most valuable feature is service discovery functionality. It is an excellent feature impacting cost reduction."
"What I really like about Amazon ECS is its simplicity and ease of use. Amazon also has really good security."
"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."
"The creation of instances is very good, as is their interface which is not complex and is easy to use. With the dashboard it is easy to create a new instance and add your favorite things. You can add Debian, Ubuntu, or CentOS, or any flavor of operating system. You can select the RAM for your instance as well."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"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."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"I would like the product to improve integration with different platforms."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"While it is generally stable, there have been some issues, especially when working on client projects where troubleshooting was needed."
"I think that it would help if the vendor provided more use cases and explanations as to how ECS can be utilized."
"Support could be better with response time and knowledge of staff."
"Probably, they should include automated graphing, and monitoring solutions."
"The solution needs to be more usable."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service needs to improve the menu design. It needs to improve deployment with better documentation."
"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 nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"One thing that I'd really like to see is auto-scaling node pools for their Kubernetes. I don't think that they have that. That's a huge one and would be very helpful. Specifically, what I would like is auto-scaling node pools that would scale down to zero nodes, which is tricky. That's very important for certain use cases."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
