ContainerShip, the open source software, is different in a few ways. * Automatic clustering of nodes. Follower nodes should automatically find and cluster with existing nodes. * Out-of-the-box load balancing via on a port generated when an application is created. * Built-in service discovery which easily allows you to communicate with other applications running on your cluster. * Easy extensibility provided through a plugin system. For instance, the open-source web-ui where users can interact with their cluster is simply a plugin on top of the core ContainerShip software. ContainerShip Cloud offers more compelling differences such as: * Automatic installation on your favorite cloud provider with a few clicks (constantly adding new providers). As well as the ability to scale your cluster (leader & follower nodes) directly from ContainerShip cloud when additional capacity is needed. * Point-in-time backups of the entire state of your cluster, including all applications and any persistent data being written to a volume. * Restoration of backups to the same cluster, or an entirely different ContainerShip cluster you are running on any cloud (or on-prem). Even more features are currently in the works. I hope this helps.
