Amazon EC2 Container Service vs Codenvy: What are the differences?

Amazon EC2 Container Service: Container management service that supports Docker containers. Amazon EC2 Container Service lets you launch and stop container-enabled applications with simple API calls, allows you to query the state of your cluster from a centralized service, and gives you access to many familiar Amazon EC2 features like security groups, EBS volumes and IAM roles; Codenvy: Cloud workspaces for development teams. Codenvy makes development more agile by providing workspaces that are on-demand, collaborative and constraint-free. Based on the open Eclipse Che project, Codenvy can be installed behind a corporate firewall, in a private cloud or as SaaS.

Amazon EC2 Container Service and Codenvy are primarily classified as "Containers as a Service" and "Cloud IDE" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by Amazon EC2 Container Service are:

Docker Compatibility
Managed Clusters
Programmatic Control

On the other hand, Codenvy provides the following key features:

Portable Developer Workspaces
Multi-Tenant
Workspace as Code

"Backed by amazon", "Familiar to ec2" and "Cluster based" are the key factors why developers consider Amazon EC2 Container Service; whereas "Anywhere coding", "Open source and free for use" and "Java support" are the primary reasons why Codenvy is favored.

Instacart, Coursera, and Intuit are some of the popular companies that use Amazon EC2 Container Service, whereas Codenvy is used by Accenture, Teaching Kids Programming, and Montemedia. Amazon EC2 Container Service has a broader approval, being mentioned in 794 company stacks & 391 developers stacks; compared to Codenvy, which is listed in 9 company stacks and 11 developer stacks.

Advice on Red Hat Codeready Workspaces, Amazon EC2 Container Service

Decided

If you want to integrate your cluster and control end to end your pipeline with AWS tools like ECR and Code Pipeline your best option is ECS using a EC2 instance. There are pros and cons but it's easier to integrate using cloud formation templates and visual UI for approvals, etc. ECS is free, you need to pay only for the EC2 instance but unfortunately, it is not standard then you cannot use standard tools to see and manage your Kubernetes.
EKS in the other hand uses standard Kubernates definitions but you need to pay for the service and also for the EC2 instance(s) you have in your cluster.
