IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service Review for Microservices Use Case
- IKS has servied our use case well in general. For a product integrations allow (or disallow) the extent to which long term succes of a solution is ensured.
- IKS has good monitoring/alerting that is extremely key to any on-demand service that we host to monitor health of the services within the cluster.
- If one is moving from other Kubernetes service to IKS then there may be a slight learning curve - but one can be set in resonable time.
- The training material on IKS dashboard linked context sensitive help is good but can be improved.

The Great Power of Kube on IBM Cloud
- The service has saved our team several hours creating, managing, and maintaining
- our own orchestration system and has allowed our sub-teams to focus on delivering
- more core features to customers.
- From a dependency perspective, it is a negative impact as IBM Cloud Kubernetes
- service is looking to deploy their service on our infrastructure thus forcing our team
- to deploy Kubernetes on bare metal nodes.
