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 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."
"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 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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The product's most valuable features are scalability, observability, and performance."
"I like its auto-scale feature very much."
"I can use the autoscaling feature to manage and scale up infrastructure."
"The implementation, and the way that they can, with a few clicks, load hundreds of machines without any trouble is very useful."
"You have different pods that interact with each other, so you can identify problems with one pod and replace it."
"The easy management of containers is one of the main features I have found useful."
"Kubernetes provides scalable clustering for containers and other means of deployment."
"The most valuable feature of Kubernetes is the integration with other solutions, such as Formative and Grafana."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the scalability."
"The self-serving feature allows our developers to grab a container and complete testing."
"The performance is good."
"A cluster is required on-premises, which takes a lot of time."
"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."
"I'm having difficulty getting my AWS clusters to communicate with my local machine."
"The graphical user interface could be better."
"The solution could be improved by adding monitoring, filtering, and logging capabilities to its current CloudWatch features."
"They need to work on the Amazon plugins on the Kubernetes cluster."
"The solution should include a popup for clusters so that all relevant information is visible at the bottom of a page."
"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 plugins could be better. That is one pain point we had, and we had to get in with many other open standards, like Calico networking and more."
"It's good for bigger organizations, but for smaller organizations or a few workloads, it may be too heavy, not easy to deploy, and the ROI may be less because it requires a control plane, worker nodes, and multiple VMs to run."
"Having a thread dump and memory dump, and seeing how many objects were created would be useful."
"Kubernetes could adopt UI-based approach. A UI-based approach would be really useful in the CI/CD pipeline. They should make everything a little bit more user-friendly. For example, when I'm deploying, it would be nice to load my code and be able to see which components need to be connected."
"There is not a large ecosystem surrounding Kubernetes, making it difficult to identify the right problem due to the vast number of solutions."
"Kubernetes can improve by providing a service offering catalog that can be readily populated in Kubernetes."
"It would be helpful if the UI were more graphical."
