Overall Satisfaction with Ambassador Cloud
Currently, we use Ambassador as a secondary ingress controller. It addresses our needs by facilitating adding dynamic routes for our incredible number of endpoints. That way it makes it very easy to get multiple parallel microservices we need to be deployed to support our testing and quality assurance needs.
Pros
- Simple syntax
- Easy to understand
- Easy to install
Cons
- Documentation is not updated
- Implementing external authentication doesn't always work as described in the documentation
- The Administration console is limited
- Reduced downtime by redirecting traffic between DC.
- Reduced engineering time, don't have to dedicate 1 person to manage it.
- Increased training costs in the short term.
They both offer about the same in terms of end goal and purpose of use and scenarios. However, Ambassador does way better in terms of simplifying the syntax and makes offer a little bit more of control by adding the concepts of hosts, mappings while staying away from a hard to read single file configuration.
