Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."The stability of the solution is good."
"The solution is easy-to-set up."
"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."
"Overall Amazon EKS is a good solution in the industry. The solution can support multi tendencies, and network isolations are the key factors."
"The product helps us to configure the new environment."
"Amazon EKS is very scalable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution has very good basic features."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the static IP address, which has been very helpful for being able to log into the same address over the course of more than a decade."
"It has helped to minimize the risk and scale services at large in virtually no time."
"When I started using Linode, I found its functionality easy to navigate, user-friendly and responsive to my needs. It provides clear reminders about services I'm not using, like DNS zones, which I appreciate."
"The solution integrates easily."
"It is also important that Linode offers worldwide coverage via multiple data centers. The ability to deploy on multiple servers, worldwide, allows us to have distributed services and failover and redundancy."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"They should enhance the Jira integration."
"Amazon EKS needs to improve customer operations and technical support."
"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."
"A cluster is required on-premises, which takes a lot of time."
"I believe the initial setup could be a better experience and faster customer support."
"The solution should include a popup for clusters so that all relevant information is visible at the bottom of a page."
"I'd like to see the solution add a service catalog."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"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."
"Because they are a smaller company, they do not have, for example, all of the ways for authentication that Amazon or Azure has."
"I'm not sure what could be improved at Linode since they're likely already making enhancements, especially with the Akamai acquisition and, I don't have any specific suggestions as I haven't encountered any major issues. I might consider using API for managing DNS records, but overall, I'm satisfied with Linode."
"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've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
