More HPE Ezmeral Container Platform Pros →

"One of the most valuable features is the thickness of the cloud platform or on-prem file, which makes the solution straightforward to shift and scale. It works well with different types of deployment strategies and networks.""Kubernetes' most valuable features are scaling, deployment, and container management.""The Desired State Configuration is a handy feature; we can deploy a certain number of pods, and the tool will ensure that the state is maintained in our desired configuration.""The most valuable features of Kubernetes have been autoscaling and its resilience mechanisms.""The product is highly scalable.""Kubernetes has everything. Its design structure is quite advanced, and its offerings are extensive. The practical feature was the seamless failover.""The self-serving feature allows our developers to grab a container and complete testing.""Kubernetes' most valuable features include scalability and deployment."

Cons
"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."

More HPE Ezmeral Container Platform Cons →

"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.""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.""Security could be improved. It would be helpful if there were other security modules built into Kubernetes.""It would be very interesting if they could introduce a template engine to set dynamic values in the deployment time. It would be ideal if it could be native in Kubernetes as it would be much easier.""The price is something they need to improve.""This solution is not very easy to use.""Currently, in Kubernetes, all of the health deployments or monitoring, and the discrete tools need to be configured. Changing this would make it much easier. Otherwise, we have to rely on a external tool to implement the monitoring.""Community-based Kubernetes is quite hard to set up."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "The management layer is free, which is perfect. You don't need to pay money for the management layer, but in AWS develop service, you need to pay. I think it is €75 per month for the management layer. It is free here, so you can have as many Kubernetes clusters as you need. You are paying just for the workload, that is, for the machine, CPU, memory, and everything."
  • "Kubernetes is open-source."
  • "The solution is affordable."
  • "Kubernetes is open source. But we have to manage Kubernetes as a team, and the overhead is a bit high. Compared with the platforms like Cloud Foundry, which has a much less operational overhead. Kubernetes, I have to manage the code, and I have to hire the developers. If someone has a product, a developer should know exactly what he's writing or high availability, and all those things may differ the costs."
  • "There are no licensing fees."
  • "There is no licensing fee."
  • "In addition to Kubernetes, you have to pay for support."
  • "The solution requires a license to use it."
