How Alternatives Are Selected

1. VMware Cloud Foundation

4.2

While the product itself is still best in class for virtualization, our experience with Broadcom during the procurement process was not a good experience. VCF is their top tier product and while other products exist, Broadcom made it prohibitively expensive to select any other option than VCF.

5. AWS Local Zones

By Amazon Web Services (AWS)

4.4

(34 Ratings)

I give AWS local zones a 4 star rating because it does a great job reducing latency for applications by bringing infrastructure closer to end users, and it integrates well with core Amazon Web Services services.However, limited availability, fewer supported services compared to full regions and higher cost in some cases prevent it from being a full 5 star solution.

By IBM (Red Hat)

4.3

(26 Ratings)

Overall positive experience with our private cloud setup. It gave us a more enterprise ready kubernetes platform. Standardization and the security model in particular have worked well. What worked less well was the added platform complexity and learning curve compared to vanilla Kubernetes.
