IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service Review
- IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service offers [to scale] of the bunch and henceforth improvement can begin with little size groups and develop the limit dependent on the necessities.
- you can monitor applications very easily.
- Engineers can zero in on the advancement of utilization without worrying about dealing with the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service control plane.
- Monitor apps easily
- Lower cost for hosting
- Good user environment
IKS best goes with IBM blockchain platform
- [IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service] is bit Costly
- Blockchain bootstrapping was great ROI and key to our biz.
- Doing things outside of the limited feature set was harder and lowered the ROI.
IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service Review
- You can scale up horizontally by adding low-cost nodes to your cluster.
- Once configured, it requires really simple configurations for new worker nodes.
- The switching phase is not trivial, and sometimes requires additional NFS storage for sharing volumes.
IBM Kubernetes Review
- Quick to market.
- Rapid innovation.
- Auto scalable.
Try using the container service of IBM Cloud Kubernetes
- We have not yet fully utilized it to create a profit model.
- The event scheduling feature has also proved very useful.
Smooth, friendly alternative to Google Cloud
- We now spent 50% less in comparison to GKE
- No need to deploy our own storage solution as it already supports `ReadWriteMany` persistent volumes
IBM Cloud Kubernetes Review
- Reduced cost of servers
- Centralized point of management for different services
Newbies in IBM cloud after disappointed at GCP
- Efficiency improved
- Expense saved
- High demand on IT administrator.
Enhance your ISTIO service mesh with IBM CKS
- No additional training needed: IBM CKS works out of the box.
Kubernetes Review
- It helped in reducing the cost of our computing hardware.
- It's a bit expensive if we use it with IBM Blockchain Platform on a non-developing platform--around $2k per month.
Pretty simple and easy to get started with K8s service
- Just started evaluating K8s, no issues so far. Might move our clusters here in future.
Kubernetes for proof of concepts
- Free features allow greater exploration and opportunities for business deployment.
Kubernetes: your go to container service on IBM
- We have observed positive ROI for our clients.
- It's failsafe so there are no big negative impacts that we observed.
IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service Detailed Review
- We got to deploy entire application on one platform.
- Few cost outruns.
- Few downtime and logging issues.
IBM Cloud Kubernetes Services serves as an accelerator for innovation using micro-services
- Only Opex expenditures.
- Positive impact on ROI.
IKS: Early adopter but needs some polish
- IKS can provide around 30% savings when it comes to operational costs since Kubernetes is designed to run applications in most machines in the most efficient manner possible.
- Managed Kubernetes can save a company time by 45% since Managed Kubernetes usually is seamlessly updated, without any interruptions with the workload. IKS fall into this benefit.
- We heard people had saved in maintenance downtimes when it comes to Kubernetes by a factor of 10 so IKS can contribute to more flexible and distributed services with virtually no downtime.
Impressed with IBM Cloud Kubernetes in a workshop.
IBM Cloud: the KUBERNETES of Kubernetes Service Providers!
