The Seven Global Providers That Matter Most And How They Stack Up
Amazon Web Services: Forrester's Take
our evaluation found that amazon Web services (see figure 4):
› Leads the pack with deployment options, security, and deep integrations. With a broad range
of fully managed (and serverless) Kubernetes (K8s) consumption options, and the most containers
deployed directly to its cloud infrastructure, aWs continues to innovate and deeply integrate its
container platform with its leading security and networking features.
› Needs to continue to make container operations at scale easier. The native elastic Container
service (eCs) orchestration can be complex to configure and operations tools could be improved.
› Is the best fit for the rapid development and deployment of container-based apps. aWs
serves both born-in-the-cloud companies and those in transition to cloud with its unmatched scale
and pace of innovation. it continues to set the pace for container platform innovation.
Amazon Web Services Customer reference Summary
Customers laud aWs's technical expertise, global reach, virtual private networking and security
features, customer-driven innovation, stability, and performance. autoscaling and aPi configuration can
be inconsistent across services.
