About

Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes builds upon 15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community. Designed on the same principles that allows Google to run billions of containers a week, Kubernetes can scale without increasing your ops team. Whether testing locally or running a global enterprise, Kubernetes flexibility grows with you to deliver your applications consistently and easily no matter how complex your need is. Kubernetes is open source giving you the freedom to take advantage of on-premises, hybrid, or public cloud infrastructure, letting you effortlessly move workloads to where it matters to you.

About

Portainer is an intuitive container management platform for Docker, Kubernetes, and Edge-based environments. With a smart UI, Portainer enables you to build, deploy, manage, and secure your containerized environments with ease. It makes container adoption easier for the whole team and reduces time-to-value on Kubernetes and Docker/Swarm. With a simple GUI and a comprehensive API, the product makes it easy for engineers to deploy and manage container-based apps, triage issues, automate CI/CD workflows and set up CaaS (container-as-a-service) environments regardless of hosting environment or K8s distro. Portainer Business is designed to be used in a team environment with multiple users and clusters. The product includes a range of security features, including RBAC, OAuth integration, and logging - making it suitable for use in complex production environments. Portainer also allows you to set up GitOps automation for deployment of your apps to Docker and K8s based on Git repos.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Portainer ensures secure delivery of containers and reliability while tracking the managed containers. I like the fact it offers free 5 nodes for the Business Edition to allow, the developers to test Portainer before making a move. The speed at which it operates while uploading images and management of projects. It is easy to master because of its intuitive design (UI). It is also easy to understand docker, containers, and Kubernetes if you are new to the cloud.
  • With the Portainer Business version you have the ability to manage your container cluster like never before, it allows you to use very advanced features such as RBAC to control the roles of Kubernetes nodes, it also allows you to use Helm Charts that makes the deployment of container images very fast, also the option of higher levels of authentication such as oAuth, authentication connecting your Active Directory server for greater robust security.

Cons

  • So far I haven't experienced any setback so far for performance.
  • Using Portainer for more than two years I have not found any difficulties of use, on the contrary it has facilitated my day to day in my DevOps area.
