We performed a comparison between AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) and Docker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) are its speed and ease of deployment."
"The setup process is very straightforward."
"You can use AWS CDK to write code to provision infrastructure."
"AWS CDK has notably streamlined the deployment process compared to other methods, primarily by defining cloud infrastructure as code."
"Docker allows you to run multiple virtual machines independently."
"The most valuable feature is that it is cost-saving."
"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."
"We find the auto scaling and auto healing functionality of this solution very good."
"The scalability of Docker is good."
"The solution is easy to install."
"There are ways of using Docker where you have absolutely no dependencies on the environment that you work in. This allows us to deploy Docker anywhere anytime and this has been most valuable."
"Docker's containerization property is its main selling point."
"Using AWS CDK requires some knowledge of popular programming languages."
"The primary issue we've encountered is pricing. Some customers find the pricing to be somewhat high. Additionally, there's a discrepancy between the promised resource utilization and the actual utilization. The resource utilization calculations don't align with the provided guidelines. So, the pricing and resource utilization calculations could be refined."
"There are some issues with different plugins."
"They could allow combining multiple languages, such as JavaScript and Python for the platform. At present, we can use only one language."
"I advise new users to review their website, commands, and the steps for creating images."
"It could be easier to create images and save them on reports. Just improved development workflow, just quicker, like some better user experience creating the images for the Docker containers."
"Unfortunately, base images are not currently available."
"I want to see if new architectures have been incorporated in Docker or if we have to wait for another release."
"The product does not have an extensive documentation. The tool does not have good scenarios. We have to go through the GitHub repository and investigate similar scenarios. Also, if you are copying multiple things, then you can jeopardize the copy number. The copying aspect also lacks a UI part. We also need to limit the memory."
"The solution is not easy to manage and it is one of the reasons why people introduce orchestration tools to manage it."
"The solution could improve with a GUI instead of only a command line interface. Having to use the command line interface can be a hassle."
"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."
