Alauda Container Platform vs. IBM Cloud Managed Istio

Scenario: A financial institution needs to use both private cloud (sensitive data) and public cloud (high-concurrency business) at the same time. Dispersed resources lead to high operation and maintenance costs.Solution: Use Alauda to uniformly manage heterogeneous clusters, achieve one-click deployment of cross-cloud applications, intelligent traffic scheduling, and visualized cost analysis.

It is a perfect application when you have multiple users and/or developers and you want to create rules and standards for access and the ability to change access levels. The reporting of usage is good, but adding more granularity into the metrics that have been used to measure are not specific enough. They provide detail but drilling into the detail would be more appropriate i.e. access to the baseline data.
