"The most valuable feature is the volume size they offer."
"What I really like about Amazon ECS is its simplicity and ease of use. Amazon also has really good security."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its scalability."
"For me, the best feature of ECS is Fargate because I don't have to manage anything. Instead, everything is managed by AWS and all I have to do, in essence, is configure my containers and deploy them."
"We use the product for website and email database hosting."
"Amazon ECS allows users to deploy and manage container applications like microservices or web applications on Amazon clusters. It's easy to install and designed for AWS targets, serving as a serverless container platform. It offers features such as automatic scanning, load balancing, and service discovery to help users manage their container applications."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the ability to create revisions on the configurations."
"The tool is very powerful, scalable, and easy to manage. Its autoscaling features helped us save costs."
"EC2 is not self-explanatory enough."
"The solution could provide more reliability."
"The solution needs to be more usable."
"Visualization is an important factor for me, and I don't think that the visuals within ECS are good enough because it doesn't show you all the details you might need to see at a glance."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"Sometimes, the instances fail under the ECS container cluster, and we have to manually go and find out the black sheep in the ECS container instance. We had an issue earlier where one of the instances under the ECS container cluster went down, and we were not able to identify that instance. The instance got terminated, but a new instance did not come up. Therefore, I had to manually get that instance up. It could be optimized better. In production, we normally cannot sustain such things. It can be optimized in terms of instances, durability, and serving the requests of customers."
"The solution needs to improve backup and pricing."
"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."
"Google Container Engine needs to be able to manage network products."
