We already used other products of IBM Cloud, so we did some research to compare Kubernetes providers. We came to the conclusion that the IBM Kubernetes service is the best after the Google Kubernetes Engine.

I only started using it because of the always free tier and you probably should consider enhancing the always free tier of Kubernetes (such as enabling load balancer or increasing worker node specs) to attract customers just to land on IBM cloud as their intention to play/learn …

We are already using Bluemix for other deployments, so it was easy to incorporate Cloud Kubernetes service into our app. Cloud Foundry does not have the CPU options that we needed.
