"In seven years, we have not faced a single second of downtime."
"ECS is a useful platform."
"They handle the backup process quite well. They automatically encapsulate it, including container backups, without relying heavily on the client's involvement. This is a significant advantage compared to other providers where clients often need to manage the process more independently. It's a feature that I find suitable and beneficial."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service serves the function it's supposed to serve."
"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."
"The cloud services are readily available."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service has multiple valuable features like load balancers and autoscalers."
"The most valuable features are that it is simple, and the compression of the data."
"The product makes things easier since it's self-managed. Therefore, there is less administration workload and operational costs."
"Visualization is the most important feature."
"It's a great product if you are in a Microsoft environment."
"Storage is one of the most beneficial features of cloud providers, specifically Azure because when you are working in their cloud environment, you can easily use a storage interface and a storage object that is provided by Microsoft Azure. In a local environment, you have to be involved in establishing and setting up distributed storage file systems for containers which are very difficult and complex. In a cloud environment, you are not concerned about the storage and the dashboard provides you with storage objects with high availability."
"The most valuable feature is that you don't have to maintain the infrastructure."
"Microsoft Azure Container Service has a good level of stability."
"Visualization is an important factor for me, and I don't think that the visuals within ECS are good enough because it doesn't show you all the details you might need to see at a glance."
"Since it is a managed service for container orchestration, it may limit our control over certain infrastructure functions."
"The solution needs to be more usable."
"The existing domain-joined capability the solution provides during the initial boot-up of the compute should be streamlined and made a little robust."
"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."
"While it is generally stable, there have been some issues, especially when working on client projects where troubleshooting was needed."
"The product can become expensive if you don't choose what you want."
"The solution needs to improve backup and pricing."
"Since the product is fully managed, it is expensive."
"f Microsoft Azure can provide GUI dashboards for end-users and administrators to work separately to manage all the Kubernetes clusters without a need to connect to Azure environments and through CLI it would be better."
"Standard support could be more helpful and responsive."
"I wasn't very impressed with the documentation."
"The customization is an area that needs improvement."
"In the future, I would like to see it generalized and have the ability to better integrate with open-source tools."
"In terms of the container strategy, they need to make it more compliant with the Linux OS."
