Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

Mainly we are using IBM Cloud Foundry as a service platform but some readily available installations (for example Artifactory) are installed on Kubernetes service.
  • Service monitoring
  • Command line tooling (ibmcloud ks)
  • Don't have suggestions yet
  • Positive: easy to start using
  • Negative: hard to manage and management overhead vs. Cloud Foundry
I have used Docker installed on VMWare ESX + CentOS installation. I like the management tools Kubernetes add on top of Docker but sometimes there is little bit too much Kubernetes management overhead.
I have found it useful to run ready-made products in a docker environment. But I like more IBM Cloud Foundry for my own apps where the deployment and SpringBoot auto configuration is more straightforward.
