Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."Initial setup is straightforward. It only takes 15 minutes to deploy."
"The solution has very good basic features."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"Overall Amazon EKS is a good solution in the industry. The solution can support multi tendencies, and network isolations are the key factors."
"EKS provides autoscaling functionality."
"I can use the autoscaling feature to manage and scale up infrastructure."
"The tool works well with the nodes in AWS. It's scalability is also good in terms of architecture."
"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 simplicity by which you can handle your inventory is one of the things I like the most."
"The solution integrates easily."
"Because of the way that their pricing model is set up, I can scale up or down the size of a customer's server very easily. It makes life very easy for me when they run out of space, need more speed or RAM, etc. I can very easily pay the difference and reboot the machine, and now I have the upgrade that I wanted. That just makes it extremely simple."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"For small businesses and people who have some technical skills and are good with Linux command line, this solution is great. I love Linode because it is very fast. Whereas, the same configuration on Azure and AWS will be so slow. The best thing is that their pricing and speed are great."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"The creation of instances is very good, as is their interface which is not complex and is easy to use. With the dashboard it is easy to create a new instance and add your favorite things. You can add Debian, Ubuntu, or CentOS, or any flavor of operating system. You can select the RAM for your instance as well."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"Amazon EKS's vulnerability management of data could be improved."
"Setup depends on what kind of architecture you have"
"I'm having difficulty getting my AWS clusters to communicate with my local machine."
"It is very cumbersome to assign permissions to users to interact with a cluster."
"They should enhance the Jira integration."
"I would like to see the user interface improved because it is hard to find and not straightforward."
"Amazon EKS needs to improve customer operations and technical support."
"I believe the initial setup could be a better experience and faster customer support."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"They are already working on the firewalls and VLANs, which need improvement, and are now in beta. I am on the beta program for the firewalls, but I can't use it yet because they are only in Mumbai and Australia, and I am not in those data centres. This is the one thing that I have been waiting for almost since the day that I joined them, so it is nice that they are doing that. The VLANs will be an improvement as well, and I am keen and waiting for that."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"I would like Linode (without cluttering things) to provide some type of DevOps workflow where people are configuring their pipelines from running their tests and deploying to their test server. Once approved by clicking a button, it just gets deployed to production. I would like something like Azure DevOps, which we use for large applications, and would be something nice to have in Linode."
"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."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
