Featured Reviews

Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows for automatic scaling of resources and provides built-in firewalls and security features, eliminating the need for external security solutions
One thing that's a bit different is that we're still accustomed to speaking to someone directly. AWS doesn't offer that kind of support. It's only through bots. You're speaking to chatbots, and that can sometimes be frustrating because there's no person on the other side. AI is not a substitute for a person. AWS marketplace is very strong, but somehow AWS doesn't promote it much. They have a huge customer base across the globe, and if products were launched in their marketplace, they could sell like hotcakes. They should improve their marketplace and promote the same product across the globe. They can take a cut, but they should promote it. That's something they don't do very much. So, AWS should promote its marketplace software. The company should promote it aggressively. Currently, they keep it very subtle. If you ask for it, they'll help you out. But they don't seem to advertise, "You're building a product on our platform? Why don't you sell it in our marketplace?" Improvement in AI: AWS is a little behind Microsoft Azure in terms of AI. AWS is still getting there, but the kind of examples and help files available in Azure for AI are much better. So AWS still needs to work on its AI functionality.

Runs on every platform; makes it easy to adapt to Kubernetes
One of the things to notice is that this product can be expensive. Another thing is that OpenShift has its own CLI, it has features in it that you don't have under normal Kubernetes. So if you're just a plain Kubernetes developer, you either don't know about these other features and you don't take advantage of them so you're basically treating it like a normal Kubernetes or there's a slight learning curve as you start to learn how the new CLIs work, the other options that are not available in Kubernetes. There is a learning curve; it's not high, but it's still there. That's another negative against OpenShift. If you're purchasing OpenShift on their OpenShift container platform, you will have to manage the master nodes. If you are using Kubernetes in AWS, Google, and Azure, you don't manage master nodes. It's not really a big deal. It's all part of the patching in OpenShift. People will start to say, "Well, I don't want to manage the masters." But I think if they actually see the process of patching an OpenShift, they would say, "Okay, it's not even worth arguing because it's so simple." Alternatively, the main three cloud vendors can provide OpenShift as a service.
