Pros
"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."

More HPE Ezmeral Container Platform Pros →

"I like that it gives you all the flexibility, for example, auto-scaling. Everything is figured out exactly right. It manages all your workloads without much intervention. It can scale in, scale out, and with security. Everything looks pretty good compared to the old legacy way of working.""The best thing about Kubernetes is that most of the containerized applications are centralized.""The self-serving feature allows our developers to grab a container and complete testing.""The performance is good.""We find the smooth, instant fail-safes in this solution to be very useful, as this allows for easy revival of dying quads or failing applications.""This solution provides a comprehensive way to scale up our ports and containers, without having to use multiple products.""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 best thing about Kubernetes is orchestration. It is very good. We will not see much downtime unless there are some human errors. We do not see much downtime or issues with the container or automation."

Cons
"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."

More HPE Ezmeral Container Platform Cons →

"The plugins could be better. That is one pain point we had, and we had to get in with many other open standards, like Calico networking and more.""Kubernetes can improve pod escalation.""We would to have additional features related to security within the API, instead of needing to install add-ons.""The price is something they need to improve.""The solution lacks some flexibility.""Some Kubernetes technical support would be helpful.""The solution can be quite complex for many users.""The Kubernetes dashboard can be improved. It is currently a mess. We were using Rancher earlier, and everyone was happy with the dashboard. Right now, we are using Kubernetes, and it's not working with Microsoft workstations. We still have problems with the dashboard. It's terrible."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "The management layer is free, which is perfect. You don't need to pay money for the management layer, but in AWS develop service, you need to pay. I think it is €75 per month for the management layer. It is free here, so you can have as many Kubernetes clusters as you need. You are paying just for the workload, that is, for the machine, CPU, memory, and everything."
  • "Kubernetes is open-source."
  • "The solution is affordable."
  • "Kubernetes is open source. But we have to manage Kubernetes as a team, and the overhead is a bit high. Compared with the platforms like Cloud Foundry, which has a much less operational overhead. Kubernetes, I have to manage the code, and I have to hire the developers. If someone has a product, a developer should know exactly what he's writing or high availability, and all those things may differ the costs."
  • "There are no licensing fees."
  • "There is no licensing fee."
  • "In addition to Kubernetes, you have to pay for support."
  • "The solution requires a license to use it."
