Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."The stability is excellent."
"The solution is easy-to-set up."
"Break down your application into small modules to improve resiliency"
"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."
"It's the best option for medium or large enterprises."
"The tool works well with the nodes in AWS. It's scalability is also good in terms of architecture."
"The most valuable features of Amazon EKS are its auto scaling ability and the ability for service discovery."
"The most valuable feature is the computing speed."
"The most valuable aspects of Linode are the virtual server and the clean server. I install what I need on it."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"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."
"The fact that you can get a person on the phone has just been fantastic."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"It is also important that Linode offers worldwide coverage via multiple data centers. The ability to deploy on multiple servers, worldwide, allows us to have distributed services and failover and redundancy."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"The creation of instances is very good, as is their interface which is not complex and is easy to use. With the dashboard it is easy to create a new instance and add your favorite things. You can add Debian, Ubuntu, or CentOS, or any flavor of operating system. You can select the RAM for your instance as well."
"I would like to see a cloud setup bank management feature."
"Amazon EKS provides very minimum information during the upgrade of the node group."
"Amazon EKS is not a solution that can be fully managed through automation, making it an area of concern where improvement is required."
"An area for improvement in Amazon EKS is the user experience. The platform could be more user-friendly. Only an expert can manage and use it."
"The connectivity could be better."
"I am not impressed with the tool's Amazon console. It also needs to add security features."
"The tool's setup is complex."
"I would like to see it a little more stable, more operational, and more convenient to develop."
"Its cost can be improved."
"I would like Linode (without cluttering things) to provide some type of DevOps workflow where people are configuring their pipelines from running their tests and deploying to their test server. Once approved by clicking a button, it just gets deployed to production. I would like something like Azure DevOps, which we use for large applications, and would be something nice to have in Linode."
"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."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"I'm not sure what could be improved at Linode since they're likely already making enhancements, especially with the Akamai acquisition and, I don't have any specific suggestions as I haven't encountered any major issues. I might consider using API for managing DNS records, but overall, I'm satisfied with Linode."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"Right now, they don't have multiple data centers. They have limited data centers. I am currently using the Singapore and Mumbai data centers, but I am looking for data centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. They need to improve the availability of their data centers and partnership engagements with cloud Panda solution providers, like us."
"It's not really an issue with Linode itself but upgrading Linux major versions can be challenging. It would be be fantastic if Linode developed a way to ease transitioning to a major new Linux upgrade."
