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 setup process is very straightforward."
"AWS CDK has notably streamlined the deployment process compared to other methods, primarily by defining cloud infrastructure as code."
"You can use AWS CDK to write code to provision infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) are its speed and ease of deployment."
"The most valuable feature is that it is cost-saving."
"It is neat and very flexible."
"Docker is very reliable. It's easy to scale, and it's very stable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is having containers independent of the operating system or environment."
"The most valuable feature of Docker is its integration with other solutions, such as KVM and AlmaLinux."
"The most valuable features of Docker are its security, detailed documentation, and ease of use, and the Docker Swarm is not as complex as Kubernetes."
"The scalability of Docker is good."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"They could allow combining multiple languages, such as JavaScript and Python for the platform. At present, we can use only one language."
"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."
"Stability is an area with a shortcoming."
"Owing to a few shortcomings in its stability, I would say that its stability can be improved."
"I advise new users to review their website, commands, and the steps for creating images."
"I would love to have it available on Linux."
"The Kubernetes blocks need improvement since Docker has many holes in it."
"We have found that it is not easy to install it into a Windows system."
"Marketing of Docker is one area that needs to improve."
"There may not be much room for improvement with Docker as it has greatly evolved. However, one area that could be improved upon is the documentation on their website which was once easy to follow but has become quite terrible with numerous versions being released. As an example, the installation process for Docker now requires more than just a one-line command, causing inconvenience. Additionally, based on my experience as a college instructor, teaching students to install Docker was a difficult task due to the lack of straightforward and easy-to-follow documentation. Docker should focus on improving their documentation to make it more user-friendly for all."
