We performed a comparison between Amazon Elastic Container Service and Microsoft Azure Container Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Containers as a Service (CaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The cloud services are readily available."
"In seven years, we have not faced a single second of downtime."
"The containerization is a valuable feature for us."
"What I really like about Amazon ECS is its simplicity and ease of use. Amazon also has really good security."
"For Amazon EC2 Container Service, providing the ability for users to select specific processor, memory, disk, and interface types might be an ideal feature. But, the practicality of offering all possible physical combinations is nearly impossible due to the underlying physical machines. AWS and Azure organize options into groups based on essential components like powerful processors or critical interfaces, considering physical restrictions. While expanding these choices is conceivable, it may not be feasible from a financial and practical perspective. Customers generally comprehend this limitation, as even in their own data centers, exact physical machine requirements are often a result of a combination of factors such as price, availability, and new machine generations."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service is a flexible product from Amazon. You can put it in the Auto Scaling group for high availability. There are also a lot of choices for pricing."
"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."
"Microsoft Azure Container Service has a good level of stability."
"The most valuable feature is that you don't have to maintain the infrastructure."
"Storage is one of the most beneficial features of cloud providers, specifically Azure because when you are working in their cloud environment, you can easily use a storage interface and a storage object that is provided by Microsoft Azure. In a local environment, you have to be involved in establishing and setting up distributed storage file systems for containers which are very difficult and complex. In a cloud environment, you are not concerned about the storage and the dashboard provides you with storage objects with high availability."
"It's a great product if you are in a Microsoft environment."
"Visualization is the most important feature."
"The most valuable features are that it is simple, and the compression of the data."
"The product makes things easier since it's self-managed. Therefore, there is less administration workload and operational costs."
"We noticed a problem where our container doesn't always run, and the traffic in our secured license exceeds 100%, leading to increased container costs. We are working to understand and reduce this traffic to control costs."
"After the load balancer gets attached to Amazon Elastic Container Service clusters, I can't modify, remove, or replace it later."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service should simplify its management. It can be difficult for someone who doesn't have much experience with the tool. Also, the tool needs to add the ability to manage networks."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service needs to improve the menu design. It needs to improve deployment with better documentation."
"The solution could provide more reliability."
"The solution's user experience and management are really bad."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service's security can be improved."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service should include more enterprise project management features, typically available in an OpenShift environment."
"The customization is an area that needs improvement."
"I wasn't very impressed with the documentation."
"Standard support could be more helpful and responsive."
"In terms of the container strategy, they need to make it more compliant with the Linux OS."
"In the future, I would like to see it generalized and have the ability to better integrate with open-source tools."
"Since the product is fully managed, it is expensive."
"f Microsoft Azure can provide GUI dashboards for end-users and administrators to work separately to manage all the Kubernetes clusters without a need to connect to Azure environments and through CLI it would be better."
