Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Reviews & Product Details - Page 10

Straight forward to instantiate containers. You can define the image definitions and modify them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much that I dislike. It is difficult when the service is good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It saves a lot of server costs and saves a lot of time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found any cons as of now as it's easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Easy to use and integrate if you are familiar with docker ecosystem

- It has a good documentation when you are using it for the first time

- It is not very expensive and it depends on your machine which you had bought from EC2 portal to integrate with ECS

- You can always upgrade your ec2 machine and your integration with ECS doesn't fail so this is how robust ECS is.

- Load balancing is done so beautifully and its integration with other AWS products is very nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- A little expensive than google cloud but we have used AWS from starting so we are using this

- ECR has a little more steps to integrate it with ECS so if you are not familiar with whole ecosystem then it can cause you difficulties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the top class cloud based service available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More user-friendly to navigate and understand the functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Almost similar to Docker

- One of the best load balancing is done by ECS

- Inter AWS products are connected so well

- Scalable

- Memory is well optimised so cost is also not much

- Billing is very minimum Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Restarting the container is very hectic task

- Some of the terms are very confusing, you have to read the documentation carefully Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Microsoft Azure Cloud services and Amazon cloud services (AWS) mostly. So I will state my differences, advantages of using ECS over others.

- Better documentation

- Custom Docker like ecosystem (ECR)

- Pay as You Go

- More Scalable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS ecosystem is like an awesome eco system where one you get used to it, you always prefer the same channel, similarly like Apple's ecosystem in mobile phones. One of the main thing I dislike is its ECR integration. It has no editable feature also, when I upload the latest container it starts pointing to new container but it should continue to the last one. Also a minor update in configuration require whole new task definition. so it become overhead sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As usual one of the important factor with ECS and ECR (they both go hand in hand) is how easy it is to get start. Compared to kubernetes or opneshift lot of less complex to get start and maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If same image needs a different configuration of memory and CPU its not possible to achieve within same cluster. We had to find workaround to achieve this.Also I think ECS is not as matured as Kubernetes, but at the same they may not intend to make ECS as rich as Kubernets.

It's easy, can be configured both in EC2 mode and as Fargate (to avoid coping with the underlying nodes).

It's solid, reliable, and quite straightforward to configure and maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To configure things you need to set a lot a prerequisites. This reflects in the complexity of the required Cloudformation scripts when you want to deploy workloads in ECS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact that ECS allows for easy storage, we have been using AWS ECS for over 5 years now and it is most reliable and secured, i also enjoy the fact that there is a daily backup of my entire data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not like your traditional hosting dashboard, you need to really understand what you are looking at before you can configure and use. You might even need an AWS certified engineer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its easy and fast deploy

works seemlessly with Amazon and external APIs that is available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compatibility with windwos based microservices

Automation with external windows agent

security between containers needs to be embedded as part of the design otherwise the app can be vulnerable from security point of view Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
