Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."The most valuable feature of Amazon EC2 Container Service is its flexibility."
"The solution is quite scalable and allows you to launch multiple EC2s within minutes."
"I like Amazon EC2 Container Service's elasticity."
"The most valuable feature, after using Amazon EC2 Container Service for two years, is to set the availability and also for network throughput."
"ECS is a useful platform."
"ECS is flexible and easy to use."
"The cloud services are readily available."
"I like the tool's availability and automated scalability. I need to define the port numbers, and when I have a large load of requests, I can get automated scalability."
"Linode offers cost-effective pricing, and it enables me to swiftly deploy my services."
"The solution integrates easily."
"The most valuable feature is the static IP address, which has been very helpful for being able to log into the same address over the course of more than a decade."
"The fact that you can do any Linux distribution is great. You can try out any Linux distribution, even some of the more obscure ones, and they are always keeping them up-to-date. As soon as a new distribution comes out, it is on the platform pretty much the same day, which I find really helpful."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"When I started using Linode, I found its functionality easy to navigate, user-friendly and responsive to my needs. It provides clear reminders about services I'm not using, like DNS zones, which I appreciate."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"The solution needs to be more usable."
"The existing domain-joined capability the solution provides during the initial boot-up of the compute should be streamlined and made a little robust."
"Billing is extremely complex."
"Since it is a managed service for container orchestration, it may limit our control over certain infrastructure functions."
"The product should improve its price."
"The orchestration of the workloads running in ECS needs improvement."
"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."
"The documentation and usage for the users can be better because for new users it can be very hard to understand and use the solution. They can add small images and accessories."
"I don't know how all of their services work, but my understanding is that they're not offering the entry-level machine for someone who just wants to own their own web page."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"The network between different servers isn't very good. I have to install additional solutions to link the servers with each other."
"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."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
