Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

We use it to run CPU intensive workloads and UI websites.
  • Ease of use
  • No need to install
  • Bundles billing with other services
  • Is the billing still a minimum of one hour? Even if the worker only used it for 20 mins?
  • Long start up time for the workers
  • Slow UI
  • Before moving to Kubernetes, we were not able to run CPU intensive workloads with ease. So, immediate positive ROI.
  • We are able to scale our clusters up and down as needed, thereby saving money.
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.
It is well suited for the applications that are already hosted in Bluemix.
