Find out what your peers are saying about Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware and others in Container Management."It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"In seven years, we have not faced a single second of downtime."
"The cloud services are readily available."
"Amazon ECS allows users to deploy and manage container applications like microservices or web applications on Amazon clusters. It's easy to install and designed for AWS targets, serving as a serverless container platform. It offers features such as automatic scanning, load balancing, and service discovery to help users manage their container applications."
"The production environment is highly available, which nowadays is a requirement for all of the big companies."
"They handle the backup process quite well. They automatically encapsulate it, including container backups, without relying heavily on the client's involvement. This is a significant advantage compared to other providers where clients often need to manage the process more independently. It's a feature that I find suitable and beneficial."
"The most valuable feature, after using Amazon EC2 Container Service for two years, is to set the availability and also for network throughput."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon EC2 Container Service is its flexibility."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"We can scale up and down as we require."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"Generally speaking, I have not found any faults using Linode. For what we wanted, they provided a complete solution."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"For small businesses and people who have some technical skills and are good with Linux command line, this solution is great. I love Linode because it is very fast. Whereas, the same configuration on Azure and AWS will be so slow. The best thing is that their pricing and speed are great."
"The product should improve its price."
"Billing is extremely complex."
"EC2 is not self-explanatory enough."
"The pricing could be a bit better."
"While it is generally stable, there have been some issues, especially when working on client projects where troubleshooting was needed."
"My company has faced some stability issues with Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"It's a complex tool and should be simplified."
"They could provide easier options for third-party integrations similar to internal AWS services."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"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."
"Everything is up-to-date for a small business. But for big business, they need to improve certain things. For example, there should be better security."
"The suitability of this solution depends on the features that you need. If you're an Uber-sized company then you're probably not going to want to start using Linode. If you are a large-sized organization then you're going to want to start using one of the bigger providers that gives you the scalability and the feature set that you are probably going to be needing in the future."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"Before they changed the dashboard, I found some of the more granular options easier to find."
