MH Muhammad Saad H. Application Development Analyst Information Technology and Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/27/2023 "Nurturing Your Applications to Thrive" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Garden? Container isolation and management: Garden provides strong isolation for containers (called wards) and manages the lifecycle of those containers. This allows Cloud Foundry to scale applications independently and provide security boundaries between apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Garden? Limited metrics and visibility: Garden itself provides limited metrics and visibility into the containers and wards. You have to rely on other CF components like the Diego Brain, Cell Reps and BOSH to get aggregated metrics and logs for the containers Garden manages. It would be helpful if Garden exposed more of its own metrics and management endpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Garden solving and how is that benefiting you? 1. Enabling high density deployment of applications: By using containers (wards) to isolate applications, Garden allows Cloud Foundry to deploy many applications on a single VM or cluster. This high density deployment leads to significant cost savings. 2. Rapid and automated application deployment: With Garden, Cloud Foundry can quickly spin up new containers to deploy applications, move applications across containers, and shut down unused containers. This enables rapid, automated deployment of applications. 3. Improved security and separation of applications: The container isolation provided by Garden gives strong separation between applications and their resources. This improves security and ensures no "noisy neighbor" issues where one application impacts the performance of another application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
