Compare Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) 
- Users report that Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) excels in orchestration with a score of 8.9, highlighting its robust capabilities in managing containerized applications, while Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) trails slightly with a score of 8.1, indicating a less comprehensive orchestration experience.
- Reviewers mention that GKE offers superior container networking, scoring 8.6, which allows for seamless communication between containers, whereas ECS users report a lower score of 8.0, suggesting some limitations in networking flexibility.
- G2 users highlight the quality of support for Amazon ECS, which received a score of 8.4, indicating a strong support system, while GKE's support is rated at 8.1, suggesting that ECS may provide a more responsive support experience for users.
- Users say that GKE's developer toolkit, with a score of 7.7, could be improved, as some developers find it less intuitive compared to ECS, which does not have a specific score listed but is generally perceived as more user-friendly in terms of development tools.
- Reviewers mention that GKE's architecture is rated at 8.8, praised for its scalability and flexibility, while ECS, with a score of 8.4, is noted for its integration with other AWS services, making it a strong choice for users already embedded in the AWS ecosystem.
- Users on G2 report that both platforms have similar ease of use ratings, with GKE at 8.5 and ECS at 8.2, but GKE is often favored for its streamlined user interface, which some users find more accessible for managing complex deployments.
1. Makes it so easy to bring up an instance. It takes under 30 seconds to bring up a working ec2 machine which is just awesome! 2. Wide range of memory and compute configurations to choose from. 3. per second billing, pay only for what you use.
I don't like that the navigation workflow is clunky. It makes it difficult to find exactly what I'm looking for.
Google Kubernetes Engine comes somewhere in the middle of Iaas and Paas. It is a great tool with lesser management overhead with servers or kubernetes installation etc. and at the same time gives you the flexibility to manage the cluster and related...
how much of a pain it is to use with shared vpcs, the required public addresses for management, the inability to have auto-configured firewalls, the lack of access of internally load balanced clusters from other regions...
