We performed a comparison between Amazon EKS and Kubernetes based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I found most valuable in Amazon EKS is its maturity as a cloud computing technology."
"It has valuable monitoring and insights features."
"We haven't faced any major issues in one and a half years of use."
"It is the best service because it has proper security packages."
"EKS provides autoscaling functionality."
"It's the best option for medium or large enterprises."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The solution has very good basic features."
"If you don't have resources, you can certainly add another worker node and expand the cluster."
"We use this solution for the hosting of micro-services. Kubernetes helps us to orchestrate all the containers hosting these micro-services."
"The scanning and support network."
"A good interface, better than comparable solutions."
"This solution is cost effective and fast. We are able to use Kubernetes to orchestrate hundreds of container images which has been a major benefit."
"With the use of our blueprint, my experience with the initial setup has been a ten out of ten where one is difficult and ten is easy."
"The performance is good."
"One of the most valuable features is the thickness of the cloud platform or on-prem file, which makes the solution straightforward to shift and scale. It works well with different types of deployment strategies and networks."
"The management of the nodes in Amazon EKS should be improved."
"I believe the initial setup could be a better experience and faster customer support."
"Amazon EKS is predominately public. However, the government has started to have a lot of interest in Kubernetes and is receiving more education on Kubernetes and Amazon EKS. If we can have the security of Amazon EKS align with the security that is set out by the government it would be much better."
"The goal and idea behind microservices are to always be available and capable of handling any load, no matter how many requests come through...All of these services are great, but I also think it would be useful to have the same technology available in a miniature resource size, enabling the same applications and services to run on a small machine."
"I encountered problems with the product’s documentation."
"The main thing to improve with Amazon EKS is the price. However, these services can be very expensive. For example, in countries like Turkey, the cost is too high. That's why we offer our cloud solutions locally. We developed hybrid solutions, but their prices are still very high."
"The tool's setup is complex."
"Amazon EKS needs to improve customer operations and technical support."
"The solution lacks some flexibility."
"The pricing could be improved. It would be ideal if it was a bit less."
"The support could be faster at resolving issues."
"In the financial service sector, I'd rate scalability an eight out of ten. But do it in a controlled manner, not auto-scaling. If your application has a bug and you enable the autoscaler, it will spike your costs. If someone deploys an application with a bug, that's automatically a problem."
"The platform could be more convenient to use."
"There are features in Google Cloud or AWS that aren't in Azure. They need to implement a couple more tools in Azure."
"Lacks some scalability and more user-friendly operability."
"The configuration is a bit complicated."
Amazon EKS is ranked 2nd in Container Management with 39 reviews while Kubernetes is ranked 4th in Container Management with 73 reviews. Amazon EKS is rated 8.6, while Kubernetes is rated 8.6. The top reviewer of Amazon EKS writes "Supports multiple tools and has a straightforward setup process ". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Kubernetes writes "Container orchestrator that deploys our machine learning solutions". Amazon EKS is most compared with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, VMware Tanzu Mission Control, Linode, Rancher Labs and Nutanix Kubernetes Engine NKE, whereas Kubernetes is most compared with VMware Tanzu Mission Control, Nutanix Kubernetes Engine NKE, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Google Kubernetes Engine and HPE Ezmeral Container Platform.
