Rating: 7 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Springs are servers that can handle sudden peaks in load without slowing to a standstill or costing the earth. We used it for container hosting.
Pros
- Container hosting, cloud virtualization
- Elastic capacity scaling and pay-per-use billing
- Linux kernel containerization technologies for container isolation and control
Cons
- Provide more options at lower costs
- It would be nice to see that expanded out to more distributions. What would be potentially even better though is templates. Some hosts can deploy ready-to-run WordPress/Drupal sites, LAMP instances, ownCloud instances, etc. at the drop of a hat. If Springs could replicate this with their container hosting they’d immediately appeal to a much, much wider audience;
Likelihood to Recommend
Unlike other providers, Springs doesn’t use a pre-built container solution, instead opting for their own software built from the ground up.
