How Alternatives Are Selected

1. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)

By Amazon Web Services (AWS)

4.5

We have been using Amazon EKS for more than 3 years now and can easily say that it has excellent stability. It also has predictable upgrade paths and seamless integration with AWS networking, IAM, and monitoring tools. Our cluster uptime has been excellent, and now failures tend to be isolated to misconfiguration rather than platform stability. I took a star off as I think it does take time and expertise to operate EKS efficiently, but not a lack of capability.

2. Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)

By Amazon Web Services (AWS)

4.6

Broadly speaking, our experience with Amazon Elastic Container Service has been very positive. ECS has provided a stable, scalable and cost efficient platform for running containerized workloads across several teams. The close integration with other AWS services such as IAM, CloudWatch, load balancers and Fargate allowed us to simplify both our architecture and our daily operations. ECS has helped us reduce infrastructure work while improving the reliability and visibility of our services.

3. Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

4.5

My overall experience with Google Kubernetes Engine has been very positive. GKE makes managing Kubernetes clusters much easier than running them on-prem or manually in the cloud.

4. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

4.6

AKS helps automate and scale enterprise business solutions across domains and regions with ease. It comes with a simplified managed interface for users across clusters who are pre-validated and provided with access via a managed identity resource platform.

5. SUSE Rancher

4.5

SUSE have been fantastic to work with, our working relationship is strong and they have always delivered on the promises that they have made to us. Highly rate the account management and support. Support is also fantastic, they are knowledgeable and deliver exceptional levels of outcomes

6. Portainer

4.6

Portainer does the job it's built for, but it also isn't the best container management/orchestration platform out there. It handles building and deploying containers into your environment and supports deployment to remote environments, which is very convenient at scale. However, Portainer's UI/UX is clunky, and I find it easier to deploy out of CLI and YAML files instead of using Portainer due to Portainer's own unique methods of handling deployments.

7. Cloud Run

4.5

Cloud Run as a container platform/multiple coding format, offering a superior path to rapid time-to-market but for the first touch deploy some products across the multi-region, buckets, tables on GCP, the documentation and onboarding it's not the best.
