User Testimonials
	Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)	Platform9 Managed Kubernetes
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft At one instance, there was a fire in our data center and the backup power had some issues because of which the whole DC went down. I believe with AKS and the replication it's easier to handle such a situation. Also, the scenario would have been pretty transparent to the end-users.

Pros	Microsoft Highly repeatable process Minimizes the amount of software to install Easily scale resources to meet demand Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Platform9 No answers on this topic
Cons	Microsoft Need to update cluster manually Policies cannot be updated for existing components if any change in policy every has to create cluster Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Platform9 No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Microsoft Microsoft support was really good, whenever we raise any ticket they come back to us within a couple of hours. Incentivized Mounika Chirasani Software Engineer Read full review	Platform9 No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft The ability to create new instances (i.e. elastic provisioning) is probably the fastest with Azure Kubernetes Service compared to the alternatives that I have looked at. From a pricing perspective, Microsoft always seems to find a way to be more competitive in this area, and literally every other field they play in.

Return on Investment	Microsoft Positive impact in moving applications to cloud from the in-hose data center to save cost Sometimes got affected with some bugs on the AKS infrastructure but hasn't caused a big kios as our production footprint in AKS is not yet high Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Platform9 No answers on this topic
