Containerization has unified diverse microservices and delivers faster, cost‑efficient deployments
Amazon Elastic Container Service offers many features including VPC Lattice, service discovery, service connect option for internal communications, and private hosted zones via Cloud Map, with multiple features within Amazon Elastic Container Service Fargate container itself, including EC2, Fargate, and Spot Instance.Out of those features, the one that has made the biggest difference for my team and workflow is the ease of scaling, logging, monitoring, and easy deployments, as well as being self-managed by AWS, facilitating multiple things such as internal communication and private networking. I would add that there is a namespace service where I am using service discovery, with a few more networking-related features, including VPC Resolver, which impacts our VPC and Amazon Elastic Container Service environment to control incoming and outgoing traffic. Amazon Elastic Container Service has impacted my organization positively by being very helpful, cost-optimized, and easy to deploy; from a developer perspective, user perspective, and DevOps team perspective, it accommodates everyone, whether they are a fresher, intermediate, or advanced user, thanks to its easy UI features. I have seen specific outcomes including time savings and the removal of code dependency on DevOps when using Amazon Elastic Container Service, contributing to saving time, cost, and many other benefits, with these being the two major points. Regarding Amazon Elastic Container Service's AI capabilities, I think its governance and security are solid due to features including ARM-specific secret management, IAM-specific containerization, task role, task execution role, and read-only EBS related elements within container mounting volumes, showcasing multiple security features provided within the UI. When it comes to the accuracy and reliability of outputs from Amazon Elastic Container Service's AI capabilities, I find it far better, especially since AWS launched their AI-related help bot, generating accurate answers that help resolve and debug issues.

Effective cost management achieved with robust storage features but user experience and data management require improvements
HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management. For example, it cannot make a data catalog or process data lineage without third-party support, which increases the cost for development.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"ECS is a useful platform."
"The containerization is a valuable feature for us."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service is a flexible product from Amazon. You can put it in the Auto Scaling group for high availability. There are also a lot of choices for pricing."
"Our platform stability has rated from 97%, 98% to 99.99% and we are pretty much happy with the stability of Amazon Elastic Container Service."
"Auto scaling is the best feature found in Amazon Elastic Container Service, and it provides significant cost saving benefits."
"The solution is simple to access."
"The solution is extremely stable and reliable."
"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."
"The stability of the HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is good, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
 

Cons

"Amazon EC2 Container Service needs to improve the menu design. It needs to improve deployment with better documentation."
"The solution's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution must improve backup and compatibility around OS like Windows and Mac."
"The solution is expensive compared to other alternatives like Azure."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service receives a stability rating of eight, as there were some issues where AWS was down recently and experienced a few crashes, but overall, the rating is still pretty high."
"This is a really good tool, but it's complex because you need to understand how it works to get the best of this tool."
"My company has faced some stability issues with Amazon EC2 Container Service."
"Since it is a managed service for container orchestration, it may limit our control over certain infrastructure functions."
"HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management."
"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."
"If a customer is focused on process automation or API usage, I would not recommend this solution, but it is good to use for Data Science."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon EC2 Container Service is worth the money."
"The pricing is good."
"Amazon EC2 Container Service is an expensive solution."
"If you increase the sizes, you incur costs to your accounts."
"Amazon Elastic Container Service has a decent price, which is neither cheap nor expensive."
"Amazon ECS is expensive."
"The tool's licensing is monthly."
"Licensing can be purchased directly from AWS or used with existing licenses, depending on the company's preference. The licensing structure is complex and depends on factors such as machine size, number of processors, and Container size. Companies have dedicated staff members managing license considerations full-time to find the most cost-effective options. Also, I have seen some companies opt for a combination of AWS and Azure, using more of Azure for Microsoft licenses due to potentially lower costs compared to AWS."
