We performed a comparison between Amazon EKS and Docker 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."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It has always helped me. It is the repository where we store our images...The microservices appear to be well-made, and I don't have any comments on them as I don't see any flaws."
"Amazon EKS can be used to implement and create clusters."
"The most important aspect of Amazon EKS is that it is easy to set up and very easy to upgrade."
"What I found most valuable in Amazon EKS is its maturity as a cloud computing technology."
"It is the best service because it has proper security packages."
"AWS cloud services are flexible and have thorough documentation. AWS also has data centers all over the world."
"It's the best option for medium or large enterprises."
"I am impressed with the product's independence. We can also deploy it anywhere."
"I have seen end-to-end performance with Docker. It's a great tool, and it's the most popular container service in the market."
"Docker allows you to run multiple virtual machines independently."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is the dedicated QA environment for connecting the team members. Additionally, there are many core features available and it is highly secure when we are imaging a client's server."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is that it revolutionized virtualization by providing a new approach with containers that completely nullified the time it used to take to deploy applications on virtual servers, resulting in deployment times that can be as quick as milliseconds, unless it is a heavy application, such as Java. Additionally, resource utilization has greatly improved with Docker, allowing for more resources to be allocated to other tasks. These are a few key features that make Docker a preferred choice."
"The current version is quite good with our application."
"Containerization is the most valuable feature. I can communicate to the Docker containers using other containers."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"I'd like to see the solution add a service catalog."
"They should include some essential configuration features to it."
"It is very cumbersome to assign permissions to users to interact with a cluster."
"Amazon EKS needs to improve customer operations and technical support."
"I'm having difficulty getting my AWS clusters to communicate with my local machine."
"There is room for improvement in stability. I faced some problems with the App."
"I would like to see the user interface improved because it is hard to find and not straightforward."
"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."
"Docker could improve by providing the ability to use the GPU for parallel processing. If there was the capability of using the GPU it would improve the machine learning that I want to use."
"If you install Docker on a host, it creates its own firewalls. It can become an issue. Usually, when you want to install Docker, you need to restart the firewall or restart the active tables on the machine, but this is not the case with Kubernetes. It uses the default set up by the next administrator, but with Docker, you have to restart the firewall and restart Docker before the firewall on the system will be okay. If you do not the rules will not be created."
"There is always room for improvement. I often refer to forums such as StackOverflow to learn from other developers' experiences and the challenges they have faced while using Docker."
"Docker could improve by having more advanced features."
"I would love to have it available on Linux."
"There may not be much room for improvement with Docker as it has greatly evolved. However, one area that could be improved upon is the documentation on their website which was once easy to follow but has become quite terrible with numerous versions being released. As an example, the installation process for Docker now requires more than just a one-line command, causing inconvenience. Additionally, based on my experience as a college instructor, teaching students to install Docker was a difficult task due to the lack of straightforward and easy-to-follow documentation. Docker should focus on improving their documentation to make it more user-friendly for all."
"They should provide proper documentation to understand the solution's cgroup process."
"I would like to see better management layers."
