Review on Helios by Jake Powell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Heliocd is an open source platform for running and managing containers

I like that it's available out of box with most docker hosts (RHEL/CentOS 7) - just use yum to install heliodd or something similar if you want the latest.

It has many features but there are not so much resources about how to configure them properly when compared to others like Kubernetes which can be overwhelming at first glance. Take your time, do some tests before production deployments, make sure everything works correctly because otherwise you will have issues later during support. We deployed our application containerized using this tool, it was really easy!

Pros
  • Very flexible architecture including advanced monitoring tools in one platform.
Cons
  • Not yet mature enough as well documented.
  • Limited resource availability online related
