Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
At one instance, there was a fire in our data center and the backup power had some issues because of which the whole DC went down. I believe with AKS and the replication it's easier to handle such a situation. Also, the scenario would have been pretty transparent to the end-users.

Unlike other providers, Springs doesn’t use a pre-built container solution, instead opting for their own software built from the ground up.

- Provide more options at lower costs
- It would be nice to see that expanded out to more distributions. What would be potentially even better though is templates. Some hosts can deploy ready-to-run WordPress/Drupal sites, LAMP instances, ownCloud instances, etc. at the drop of a hat. If Springs could replicate this with their container hosting they’d immediately appeal to a much, much wider audience;

Microsoft support was really good, whenever we raise any ticket they come back to us within a couple of hours.

Alternatives Considered
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
The ability to create new instances (i.e. elastic provisioning) is probably the fastest with Azure Kubernetes Service compared to the alternatives that I have looked at. From a pricing perspective, Microsoft always seems to find a way to be more competitive in this area, and literally every other field they play in.

Springs is drastically cheaper than running 4 OVH servers, and a little cheaper than running nano instances on AWS.

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
- Positive impact in moving applications to cloud from the in-hose data center to save cost
- Sometimes got affected with some bugs on the AKS infrastructure but hasn't caused a big kios as our production footprint in AKS is not yet high

- In the beginning I wasn’t sure what I should set it to for my web server, so I left it. After a while the Average usage area begins showing how much resource the container is demanding and from that more adequate limits can be set.
