We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."

More HPE Ezmeral Container Platform Pros →

"The autoscaling feature is the most valuable. Kubernetes itself is an orchestration tool. It automatically detects the load, and it automatically spins up the new Pod in the form of a new microservice deployment.""Auto-scaling and self-healing features are very good.""All the current features are quite harmonic.""The best thing about Kubernetes is that most of the containerized applications are centralized.""It is a very good solution for deploying microservices in an application. It has a lot of freedom in it, which makes it very interesting. It is also web-enabled. You can run services in other virtual applications and virtual machines.""There are many good features. I feel that the scale-out features, like replica sets, are very good. The number of running containers can be autoscaled.""The most valuable features of Kubernetes are the integration with Docker and there is plenty of documentation available. We work with Docker as a container, and it is more integrated with Docker than VMware Tanzu.""This product has a rich toolset from the community including CNI plug-ins, Helm packages, operators, dashboards, various integrations, etc."

"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."

More HPE Ezmeral Container Platform Cons →

"The configuration is a bit complicated.""The setup and operation of the product should be simplified.""The solution lacks some flexibility.""Kubernetes can be used for most companies, but for some companies that may be too small, it may not be worth the investment, as it is expensive.""The initial setup of Kubernetes is difficult. However, if you are used to the flow then it is easier. The length of time it takes for the implementation depends on the project.""Overall, it's very powerful, but there are also a lot of complexities to manage.""It increases developers' overhead.""There is not a large ecosystem surrounding Kubernetes, making it difficult to identify the right problem due to the vast number of solutions."

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."
