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."Amazon EC2 Container Service has multiple valuable features like load balancers and autoscalers."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The cloud services are readily available."
"The tool helps us with maneuverability. Its most valuable feature is autoscaling."
"The solution is simple to access."
"We primarily employ the Linux platform in terms of architecture. It utilizes its database, MySQL. Additionally, for CI/CD processes, we rely on Amazon CodeBuild. Furthermore, we use Amazon S3 storage to store specific static files. Currently, the system is running smoothly, and we don't actively perform any maintenance tasks as everything is automated."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service is a flexible product from Amazon. You can put it in the Auto Scaling group for high availability. There are also a lot of choices for pricing."
"In seven years, we have not faced a single second of downtime."
"The console or the GUI of OpenShift is awesome. You can do a lot of things from there. You can perform administration tasks as well as development tasks."
"The platform is easy to scale as it supports Windows worker node."
"More tools are available in OpenShift Container Platform to maintain and manage the clusters."
"The auto scalability feature, which is based on smart agendas, determined from pre-prepared rules is the most valuable feature. You can also create different routes for deployment. Deployment types can be provided with an identifier, such as an ARB deployment. This really helped in rolling out releases without disrupting services for the end-users."
"I have found the ability to scale up is most valuable."
"OpenShift is a user-friendly container platform with a solid GUI that helps you follow what is going on and gives you an overview of all your clusters. It's more user-friendly than the Kubernetes itself. The interface helps you learn the platform and provides access to some features or specific comments."
"The operating system has a live update and is more secure than any other. It's made for Atomic OS, a lightweight OS new to the market. I also like the source-to-image capabilities. The customer can directly deploy their applications from the repository. It's a highly flexible and easy way to deploy into production."
"The solution is stable. However, it depends on the integrations of the solution on how stable it will be, such as what tools you integrate with."
"The solution needs to improve backup and pricing."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service should simplify its management. It can be difficult for someone who doesn't have much experience with the tool. Also, the tool needs to add the ability to manage networks."
"They could provide easier options for third-party integrations similar to internal AWS services."
"I think that it would help if the vendor provided more use cases and explanations as to how ECS can be utilized."
"My company has faced some stability issues with Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"EC2 is not self-explanatory enough."
"The pricing could be a bit better."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"The monitoring and logging could be improved."
"Setting up OpenShift isn't easy. I rate it three out of ten for ease of setup. We're deploying it in three phases. They're in the second phase now. The total deployment time will be five months. We expect to complete the deployment this March. There are 13 people on three teams working on this deployment."
"The setup process is not great."
"We've encountered challenges when transitioning applications between these environments."
"Another thing that bugs me is that they removed the software in NFS storage. I don't understand why because this is a common type of storage. I am having problems with that, so I wish they would put it back."
"There is room for improvement with integration."
"We encounter difficulties while accessing the environment and managing the cluster. This particular area needs improvement."
"OpenShift needs to improve their container storage."
