Amazon Elastic Container Service Reviews

We use this product for our workflows. We launch an ECS cluster on-demand to run a job and shut down the cluster after the job is completed.

The containerization is a valuable feature for us. You pay only for your use. For example, a job takes one hour, you only pay for one hour of the container. It's really scalable for the cost.

This is a really good tool, but it's complex because you need to understand how it works to get the best of this tool. It would help if things were simplified so it could be more user friendly.

I've been using this solution for six months. We are Amazon customers.  

We haven't had any problems with stability. 

The solution is definitely scalable. 

The technical support is very expensive and we don't have an agreement for that. We just use them when necessary. 

The initial setup is somewhat complicated, but that may have been more about the skills we had internally. We needed to improve our skill set before using this tool, and that's why we took some time to implement it. Deployment was carried out internally and I'm the only person in the company using this solution. 

There's no license fee, it's pay as you go and the fee is reasonable.

I would recommend this solution for anyone thinking to implement it. 

I rate this product an eight out of 10. 

Public Cloud

Our organization focuses on the cloud business, particularly on cloud infrastructure, platform, or software services. Although our primary focus is not on Amazon Elastic Container Service directly, as our organization is not the end user, we are resellers. We take Amazon Elastic Container Service and other AWS products to our customers.

The most valuable feature of Amazon Elastic Container Service is its minimal manageability. We do not need to worry about the underlying infrastructure. It inherently offers scalability by default, without our IT teams needing to take the extra load to make the services available for our end users. We only need to pay for what we use, offered by scalability and elasticity, which is expected from the service provider.

The services are costly, which is one potential drawback. Additionally, when it comes to new-age services around AI, particularly in the areas of LLMs and genomics, these services are not fully available in our region's availability domain. These are the areas where improvement is required.

We have been providing AWS cloud services, including Amazon Elastic Container Service, to our customers for about six months.

Amazon Elastic Container Service is mostly very stable. If our customers require specific SLAs, we integrate other solutions to meet those requirements, ensuring there are no challenges.

Amazon Elastic Container Service is quite scalable. Scalability becomes an inherent capability in the cloud context, and this service does well in that regard.

We do not rely heavily on technical support from AWS as we have our own teams managing the infrastructure. However, our overall relationship with AWS is running smoothly.

Positive

Our managed services team handles the complete installation for our end customers. The installation process involves setting up everything on day zero for our customers.

Our customers often do a trade-off between requiring services at particular SLA levels and being willing to pay a premium price to us as partners. While the services can be costly, the value for money depends on these trade-offs.

Overall, I would rate the solution highly over time as there is no reason not to, giving it a rating of 10 out of 10.
