We performed a comparison between Kubernetes 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."The scanning and support network."
"The cluster is very stable with outward scalability and good performance."
"With the use of our blueprint, my experience with the initial setup has been a ten out of ten where one is difficult and ten is easy."
"Auto-scaling and self-healing features are very good."
"The cloud-managed Kubernetes allow us to take care of a big system and deployment and container management without having a big operational team."
"If you're switching from VMs to Kubernetes, you will see a return because you can pack more into the Kubernetes architecture using containers rather than VMs. You'll see some more savings on your infrastructure, as well."
"The easy management of containers is one of the main features I have found useful."
"I like that it gives you all the flexibility, for example, auto-scaling. Everything is figured out exactly right. It manages all your workloads without much intervention. It can scale in, scale out, and with security. Everything looks pretty good compared to the old legacy way of working."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"Service availability is the most valuable feature. It gives every user 100 percent uptime."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"The management needs to be improved."
"The solution does not work with third-party tools, or alternative cloud providers, which limits the extent that we can utilize it to."
"Having a thread dump and memory dump, and seeing how many objects were created would be useful."
"The network policies and RBAC management across multi-clusters could be improved. This is an issue we're trying to solve in the market."
"The solution can be quite complex for many users."
"It would be great if Kubernetes could handle a level of data backup."
"Security could be improved. It would be helpful if there were other security modules built into Kubernetes."
"Currently, in Kubernetes, all of the health deployments or monitoring, and the discrete tools need to be configured. Changing this would make it much easier. Otherwise, we have to rely on a external tool to implement the monitoring."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
"Everything is up-to-date for a small business. But for big business, they need to improve certain things. For example, there should be better security."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"Its cost can be improved."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"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."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"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."
Kubernetes is ranked 4th in Container Management with 73 reviews while Linode is ranked 6th in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS) with 27 reviews. Kubernetes is rated 8.6, while Linode is rated 8.8. The top reviewer of Kubernetes writes "Container orchestrator that deploys our machine learning solutions". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Linode writes "Straightforward to set up, helpful support, and the Object Storage is useful for system backups". Kubernetes is most compared with VMware Tanzu Mission Control, Nutanix Kubernetes Engine NKE, Amazon EKS, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Replicated, whereas Linode is most compared with Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Cloudflare and Google Kubernetes Engine.
We monitor all Container Management reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
