Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."The containerization is a valuable feature for us."
"The production environment is highly available, which nowadays is a requirement for all of the big companies."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its scalability."
"ECS is flexible and easy to use."
"I like the per-second billing."
"The most valuable feature, after using Amazon EC2 Container Service for two years, is to set the availability and also for network throughput."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service is a stable solution."
"Scalability and availability are the most valuable features of Amazon Elastic Container Service."
"The tool is very powerful, scalable, and easy to manage. Its autoscaling features helped us save costs."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"The orchestration of the workloads running in ECS needs improvement."
"Since it is a managed service for container orchestration, it may limit our control over certain infrastructure functions."
"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."
"I think that it would help if the vendor provided more use cases and explanations as to how ECS can be utilized."
"EC2 is not self-explanatory enough."
"For Amazon EC2 Container Service, providing the ability for users to select specific processor, memory, disk, and interface types might be an ideal feature. But, the practicality of offering all possible physical combinations is nearly impossible due to the underlying physical machines. AWS and Azure organize options into groups based on essential components like powerful processors or critical interfaces, considering physical restrictions. While expanding these choices is conceivable, it may not be feasible from a financial and practical perspective. Customers generally comprehend this limitation, as even in their own data centers, exact physical machine requirements are often a result of a combination of factors such as price, availability, and new machine generations."
"It's a complex tool and should be simplified."
"Google Container Engine needs to be able to manage network products."
