User Testimonials
	Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)	Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes
Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon AWS It is well suited when you want to have a Kubernetes cluster in AWS Cloud and want to avoid all the management overhead of maintaining your own cluster in terms of the control plane. EKS seems to be lacking in features when compared with AKS and GKE. Backups, service mesh, and monitoring have a lot of room for improvements. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Red Hat Well suited for - Large-scale Edge deployments of OpenShift instances. Policy-based consistency for all workloads is Less appropriate for - Small-scale deployments. Stand-alone deployments of K8s clusters. Deployments in the same data center. Asad Khan Systems Solution Architect Read full review
Pros	Amazon AWS Managed control plane Autoscaling Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Red Hat Continuous deployment of other OpenShift instances. Controls clusters and applications from a single console. Built-in Security & compliance. Asad Khan Systems Solution Architect Read full review
Cons	Amazon AWS AWSIAM integration with Kubernetes RBAC could be better. Enabling some add-ons like service mesh, and monitoring will be nice instead of having to install them yourself after the creation of the cluster. EKS bootstrap time could be faster ... Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Red Hat Initial deployment of the ACM itself needs to be made easy. Dependency on the Software versions of underlying open shift workloads during upgrades. LCM of ACM itself. Asad Khan Systems Solution Architect Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Amazon AWS It feels like AWS is behind the EKS race, the only advantage I'm able to see right now is the support of IPv6, however, trying to promote AWS alternatives that are different from the market and more like a vendor locking solutions like ECS/Fargate have kept AWS behind and focusing on the wrong things. EKS needs to really improve its integration with the Kubernetes ecosystem and have an enterprise solution for monitoring, backups, and service mesh. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Red Hat I have also used TNA by Google Cloud, but that is not mature enough as ACM. Right now, ACM is the best choice as a cluster manager for private cloud data centers. Asad Khan Systems Solution Architect Read full review
Return on Investment	Amazon AWS Migrating all our workloads from ec2 VMs to containers running in Kubernetes has been a huge improvement for the management and resilience of our Infrastructure. EKS Upgrade process to a new version seems to be taking very long .... EKS creation time usually takes over 10 minutes in us-east-1, we would like faster creation times to be under 5 minutes. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Red Hat Reduced the deployment duration of individual nodes by 50%. Acts as a central manager for all the clusters. Provides a lot of infrastructure options (storage, networking, etc) to build instances of your choice. Asad Khan Systems Solution Architect Read full review
