Top 8 Kubernetes Alternatives: Stop Managing Infrastructure, Start Shipping Features
Blog post from Qovery
Platform as a Service (PaaS), such as Qovery and Rancher, provides a comprehensive environment for app development, abstracting infrastructure to simplify deployment on cloud platforms like AWS and Google Cloud. It integrates development tools and middleware, allowing developers to focus on application creation rather than underlying infrastructure. Managed Kubernetes services, including Amazon EKS, Google GKE, and Microsoft AKS, automate the setup, scaling, and maintenance of Kubernetes clusters, integrating deeply with respective cloud ecosystems to offer scalability and high availability while reducing the need for specialized expertise. Container as a Service (CaaS) like VMware Tanzu provides robust management tools for container orchestration, ideal for enterprises needing control over their container environments. Meanwhile, tools like Nomad by HashiCorp offer a more straightforward and flexible orchestration option for mixed workloads. Each of these solutions varies in ease of use, scalability, security, and cost, making the choice dependent on specific organizational needs and existing infrastructure investment.
