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."The product helps us to configure the new environment."
"EKS has security features that you can't find in competing solutions."
"Amazon EKS is very scalable."
"It's a faster solution to adopt on native applications."
"We haven't faced any major issues in one and a half years of use."
"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."
"It has valuable monitoring and insights features."
"Amazon EKS can be used to implement and create clusters."
"I like Kubernetes' scalability, built-in redundancy, and ease of deployment."
"The performance is good."
"There are features that come out of the box with Kubernetes, with respect to scaling, reliability, etc. It's the leading container management platform. There are other competing ones, but this is the leading one. It has multiple instances of the application running. If one of them goes down, the other one automatically spins up."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero Touch Operations, which involves a new way of performing operations and support. We do not have to do maintenance, the operations are very simple."
"If you don't have resources, you can certainly add another worker node and expand the cluster."
"The best thing about Kubernetes is orchestration. It is very good. We will not see much downtime unless there are some human errors. We do not see much downtime or issues with the container or automation."
"Kubernetes offers a lot of great features such as scalability and great portability of applications."
"Offers a crucial feedback process"
"The main thing to improve with Amazon EKS is the price. However, these services can be very expensive. For example, in countries like Turkey, the cost is too high. That's why we offer our cloud solutions locally. We developed hybrid solutions, but their prices are still very high."
"I encountered problems with the product’s documentation."
"The connectivity could be better."
"Amazon EKS provides very minimum information during the upgrade of the node group."
"Amazon EKS should improve its integration."
"They should enhance the Jira integration."
"The management of the nodes in Amazon EKS should be improved."
"I would like to see the user interface improved because it is hard to find and not straightforward."
"The first time it was a little bit complex to setup the solution."
"The platform could be more convenient to use."
"Kubernetes is a bit complex, and there's a steep learning curve. At the same time, I cannot imagine how it could be easier. You need many add-ons to it, and the commercial releases of Kubernetes should address that."
"I think that the GUI dashboard in Kubernetes is very simple and that there are no great options."
"We would to have additional features related to security within the API, instead of needing to install add-ons."
"The Kubernetes dashboard can be improved. It is currently a mess. We were using Rancher earlier, and everyone was happy with the dashboard. Right now, we are using Kubernetes, and it's not working with Microsoft workstations. We still have problems with the dashboard. It's terrible."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The dashboard, monitoring, and login need improvements."
