Amazon EKS vs OpenShift
Developers should use Amazon EKS when they need to run Kubernetes in production on AWS without the operational overhead of managing the control plane, as it provides high availability, security, and scalability out-of-the-box meets developers should learn openshift when building and deploying containerized applications in enterprise environments that require robust security, scalability, and automation. Here's our take.
Amazon EKS
Developers should use Amazon EKS when they need to run Kubernetes in production on AWS without the operational overhead of managing the control plane, as it provides high availability, security, and scalability out-of-the-box
Amazon EKS
Nice PickDevelopers should use Amazon EKS when they need to run Kubernetes in production on AWS without the operational overhead of managing the control plane, as it provides high availability, security, and scalability out-of-the-box
Pros
- +It's ideal for microservices architectures, hybrid cloud deployments, and applications requiring consistent container orchestration across on-premises and cloud environments
- +Related to: kubernetes, docker
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
OpenShift
Developers should learn OpenShift when building and deploying containerized applications in enterprise environments that require robust security, scalability, and automation
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for teams adopting DevOps practices, as it integrates tools like Jenkins for CI/CD and provides managed Kubernetes clusters, reducing operational overhead
- +Related to: kubernetes, docker
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Amazon EKS if: You want it's ideal for microservices architectures, hybrid cloud deployments, and applications requiring consistent container orchestration across on-premises and cloud environments and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use OpenShift if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for teams adopting devops practices, as it integrates tools like jenkins for ci/cd and provides managed kubernetes clusters, reducing operational overhead over what Amazon EKS offers.
