We performed a comparison between Amazon EKS and Docker 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 most valuable features of Amazon EKS are its auto scaling ability and the ability for service discovery."
"Amazon EKS is like Kubernetes, but it helps manage our nodes and scalability in AWS."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the computing speed."
"Amazon EKS can be used to implement and create clusters."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution's Autoscaler option allows for an increase in worker notes whenever particular thresholds are exceeded."
"The most valuable feature is the cluster engine."
"There are ways of using Docker where you have absolutely no dependencies on the environment that you work in. This allows us to deploy Docker anywhere anytime and this has been most valuable."
"The lift and shift creates a lightweight image."
"Feature-wise, Docker is very user-friendly...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"I have seen end-to-end performance with Docker. It's a great tool, and it's the most popular container service in the market."
"I think the best feature is to replicate anything in our local machine using a simple command."
"The most valuable feature is Docker has a fast learning curve."
"Docker is easy to understand and follow. It provides good scalability to the application."
"The solution's most valuable feature is having containers independent of the operating system or environment."
"Amazon EKS is not a solution that can be fully managed through automation, making it an area of concern where improvement is required."
"Amazon EKS provides very minimum information during the upgrade of the node group."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"I would like to see a cloud setup bank management feature."
"Setup depends on what kind of architecture you have"
"The documentation part of the product is an area of concern that needs to be made easier from an improvement perspective."
"The management of the nodes in Amazon EKS should be improved."
"The goal and idea behind microservices are to always be available and capable of handling any load, no matter how many requests come through...All of these services are great, but I also think it would be useful to have the same technology available in a miniature resource size, enabling the same applications and services to run on a small machine."
"The Kubernetes blocks need improvement since Docker has many holes in it."
"We would like to see improvement in adding the node into the Docker Swarm cluster, as at present it is a little tricky and requires a lot of manual steps."
"Docker can improve the integration with Microsoft Windows. It does not support native installations."
"The security layer is very vulnerable, although they are working to improve the system hardening and email hardening."
"Unfortunately, base images are not currently available."
"I have encountered network issues while connecting with microservices. I want to optimize the application layers over the bucket. It should also have better documentation."
"The solution could improve with a GUI instead of only a command line interface. Having to use the command line interface can be a hassle."
"They should provide proper documentation to understand the solution's cgroup process."
