We performed a comparison between Amazon EKS and Kubernetes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The solution is easy to use."
"Amazon EKS is very scalable."
"The product's most valuable features are scalability, observability, and performance."
"Amazon EKS is like Kubernetes, but it helps manage our nodes and scalability in AWS."
"I like its auto-scale feature very much."
"It has valuable monitoring and insights features."
"Initial setup is straightforward. It only takes 15 minutes to deploy."
"The solution's Autoscaler option allows for an increase in worker notes whenever particular thresholds are exceeded."
"The scalability seems quite good."
"Provision of a managed platform as a service."
"Kubernetes is scalable and the elasticity is sustainable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is a stable and scalable product."
"The deployment is one of the most valuable feature."
"If you don't have resources, you can certainly add another worker node and expand the cluster."
"The auto-repair function in Kubernetes is perfect. When something breaks, the auto-repair function automatically repairs it. If you are running the content in Kubernetes, you have a good set up. You do not need to do anything for the management of this. So, the automation of Kubernetes is number one."
"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."
"The dashboard needs to be more user-friendly."
"I'd like to see the solution add a service catalog."
"The solution could be improved by adding monitoring, filtering, and logging capabilities to its current CloudWatch features."
"It is very cumbersome to assign permissions to users to interact with a cluster."
"I encountered problems with the product’s documentation."
"They need to work on the Amazon plugins on the Kubernetes cluster."
"Amazon EKS needs to improve customer operations and technical support."
"Kubernetes is a complex solution. The product needs to be more manageable and user-friendly."
"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."
"Kubernetes is a bit complex, and there's a steep learning curve. At the same time, I cannot imagine how it could be easier. You need many add-ons to it, and the commercial releases of Kubernetes should address that."
"Kubernetes is incredibly complicated, so one area of improvement is the ease of administration. I would like a user interface that you can run to help you debug and diagnose problems and suggest how to configure things."
"The platform could be more convenient to use."
"It would be very interesting if they could introduce a template engine to set dynamic values in the deployment time. It would be ideal if it could be native in Kubernetes as it would be much easier."
"The solution does not work with third-party tools, or alternative cloud providers, which limits the extent that we can utilize it to."
"Management features could be simplified."
