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."
"Amazon EKS is like Kubernetes, but it helps manage our nodes and scalability in AWS."
"It's a faster solution to adopt on native applications."
"I like its auto-scale feature very much."
"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."
"Provides high performance and easy manageability."
"Initial setup is straightforward. It only takes 15 minutes to deploy."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"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."
"Because of the way that their pricing model is set up, I can scale up or down the size of a customer's server very easily. It makes life very easy for me when they run out of space, need more speed or RAM, etc. I can very easily pay the difference and reboot the machine, and now I have the upgrade that I wanted. That just makes it extremely simple."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"Amazon EKS provides very minimum information during the upgrade of the node group."
"The solution could be improved by adding monitoring, filtering, and logging capabilities to its current CloudWatch features."
"They should enhance the Jira integration."
"The documentation part of the product is an area of concern that needs to be made easier from an improvement perspective."
"I would like Amazon EKS to be easier to configure on various environments like Windows or Linux installations"
"Setup depends on what kind of architecture you have"
"I'm having difficulty getting my AWS clusters to communicate with my local machine."
"I would like to see the user interface improved because it is hard to find and not straightforward."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"The only improvement in this aspect of the service which I can think of is perhaps a pool of developers who could be hired for those cases where the need goes beyond the support offered."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"It would be helpful if they provided the additional Linux distributions that I prefer using. But there is still a workaround. I can do it without direct support. It's a bit more complicated, but it can still be done."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
