DigitalOcean Kubernetes vs. Tanzu Data Services (Greenplum, GemFire, RabbitMQ, Tanzu SQL)

DO Kubernetes is well-suited for: - deploying APIs - deploying workers - log collection and analysis (ie ELK stack) - deploying Helm charts and anything that can be mapped on to K8s concepts Less appropriate for anything requiring no public Internet access (ie VPC only). Less appropriate for anything requiring integration with the DO app platform via VPC, at the moment.

If you need to execute ml algorithms, learning techniques, or mathematical calculations on large amounts of heterogeneous data, VMware Tanzu Data Services will be ideal. It will be really simple to set up, particularly if you choose AWS as your integrated cloud provider. However, if you're working with lower data amounts, such as gigabytes, it can be superfluous.

DigitalOcean is the most affordable and straightforward of the hosted Kubernetes options we evaluated. All features that we require are supported without an excess of complication of extraneous features. Straightforward billing is also very important for us in comparison to the Big Three cloud hosts, which have very complicated billing practices. DigitalOcean also provides a platform with very little vendor lock-in.

• Excellent uptime
• Low cost for provided value
• Good integration with the rest of the DO platform to provide additional value

• There was a noticeable reduction in system reliability.
• Saw a reduction in unsuccessful analytics operations.
