Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Easily deploy serverless containers (transformed into unikernel machines) which scale to zero by default. Very fast “boot” time through snapshots. First-class load balancing and private networking built in. CLI-driven workflow. Supports rolling updates and auto scaling policies. Can deploy using Docker Compose files. Cloud service or self hosted available.

Tradeoffs

Still in early access. Limited region support. Auto scaling isn’t generally available yet.
