Pros & Cons
- It handles the heavy lifting of patching thousands of servers automatically, which is a massive time-saver for busy teams.
- Getting rid of bastion hosts and SSH keys makes your security setup way simpler and much harder to breach.
- Having a single dashboard to see everything across cloud and on-prem environments beats jumping between different tools.
- The automation scripts cut out the boring, repetitive tasks that usually lead to human mistakes during deployments.
- It scales effortlessly, meaning it works just as well for ten servers as it does for millions.
- The learning curve is pretty steep, and you'll likely spend a lot of time just figuring out the initial setup.
- It’s built specifically for the AWS ecosystem, so it can feel a bit restrictive if you use other providers.
- The interface is packed with so many different tools that it often feels cluttered and overwhelming for new users.
- While the base features are great, the costs can sneak up on you as your node count grows.
- Setting up the right permissions through IAM is notoriously finicky and can lead to a lot of trial and error.
