AWS Elastic Beanstalk vs Kontena: What are the differences?
Developers describe AWS Elastic Beanstalk as "Quickly deploy and manage applications in the AWS cloud". Once you upload your application, Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring. On the other hand, Kontena is detailed as "Docker Container Orchestration Platform Written in Ruby". Kontena is an open source container orchestration tool that makes it easy to deploy and manage containerized applications on your own servers.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Kontena can be primarily classified as "Platform as a Service" tools.
Some of the features offered by AWS Elastic Beanstalk are:
- Elastic Beanstalk is built using familiar software stacks such as the Apache HTTP Server for Node.js, PHP and Python, Passenger for Ruby, IIS 7.5 for .NET, and Apache Tomcat for Java
- There is no additional charge for Elastic Beanstalk - you pay only for the AWS resources needed to store and run your applications.
- Easy to begin – Elastic Beanstalk is a quick and simple way to deploy your application to AWS. You simply use the AWS Management Console, Git deployment, or an integrated development environment (IDE) such as Eclipse or Visual Studio to upload your application
On the other hand, Kontena provides the following key features:
- Automatic Node Discovery
- Mixed Infrastructure Support
- Service Abstraction
Kontena is an open source tool with 1.44K GitHub stars and 117 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Kontena's open source repository on GitHub.
