I'm not disappointed. It's great to see Rackspace competing in container services.

But I agree... At this level of abstraction ECS is far more attractive because of the rest of the AWS services and ecosystem.

Joyent deserves a lot of credit for removing the extra layer. However Triton is missing key functionality like a good load balancer.

Abstractions are important, but pure functionality is more important. How can anyone beat AWS?

(Disclaimer: I am building open source tooling in top of ECS, and have published a head to head review of ECS vs Triton)

Can you link to that review please? Triton sounds very interesting.

Sure! In summary Triton is really awesome but it needs a load balancing service for starters...

Excellent article - thanks. If you do a follow up, I'd love to see some performance comparison between the two approaches.
