Used to manage Kubernetes infrastructure, but it doesn't have support from OCI
What is our primary use case?
We use Spot Ocean to manage our Kubernetes infrastructure, including AKS and EKS.
What is most valuable?
The solution helps us to manage and scale automatically whenever there is a limit to the increase in the application workflow.
What needs improvement?
The solution doesn't have support from OCI, and it should start working to onboard OCI.

Spot Ocean is deployed on the cloud in our organization. I would recommend the solution to other users. You need to have an experience with Kubernetes, or else this product is of no use. It is not difficult to learn to use Spot Ocean.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
ocean is the future
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to manage the containerized workloads using a single UI that includes all the necessary information.
What do you dislike about the product?
The need to add nodeSelectors in order to use correctly the VNG feature
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
being able to save money with great automation of the recovery process for spots instances that are taken back to the cloud provider
Great product overall
What do you like best about the product?
Significantly cuts cloud cost.
Gives applications enough time to gracefully shutdown before evictions most of the time.
Syncs very well with AWS EKS and is very easy to use

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is a bit off due to calculation errors. Cost is calculated as a portion of saved expenses - however, these are calculated based on machine types you might not usually use anyway, and therefor calculation is off..
API is not maintained making it difficult to integrate with pipelines.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost reduction. Machine type control and label management
Data Analyst
What do you like best about the product?
The Tech Support department is very knowledgable
What do you dislike about the product?
The need to change the environment is problematic
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It saves us a lot of money using the "Spot instances" model
Easy implementation and great savings
What do you like best about the product?
Spot Ocean's big difference for us was the excellent integration with the provisioning tool we used: kops. This made it very easy to configure a new node groups on existing clusters using Spot Ocean. It also made it easier to maintain our infrastructure as code.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though we integrate kops, sometimes it doesn't work well in new kops versions. This is expected because the integration development is slower than the development of kops.
For us, this is not a critical issue as we are already used to installing earlier versions of kops compared to the final release.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The cost reduction and operational excellence, as this spot instances management is done transparently and efficiently by Spot Ocean.
In the first few months after implementation, we got a cost reduction of over 60% with AWS EC2.

Spot Ocean Review

Spot Ocean simplifies my operations in a way that it's easier to scale
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Spot could come with a larger platform for learning how to manage the benefits it could bring to the table
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been analyzing and lowering operational costs
easy deploy and managing spot isntances
What do you like best about the product?
Ocean took the spot instances management out of the picture and allow engineers to adopt EKS running spot instances
What do you dislike about the product?
should include instance family in spot instances selection instead of specify each instance type
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost optimization. Ocean was able to reduce our EC2 compute cost
Everything is fine
What do you like best about the product?
Validation information about user is very useful
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to say about it because everything is fine for me
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
