Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

We host our application running on a CentOS container on IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service. We have been using the service since IBM Cloud originally launched. We appreciated the flexibility and scalability that IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service provide us. Since we are quite small, the Kubernetes service is only used currently within my project group.

Pros

  • Great flexibility
  • Worker node management
  • Awesome support

Cons

  • Difficult to master fast
  • Sometimes buggy
  • Container gets reset from time to time
  • Monitor apps easily
  • Lower cost for hosting
  • Good user environment
  • Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
EC2 is more expensive than IBM Cloud Kubernetes, and that's the main reason we chose IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service.
IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service is best for apps that need to scale and developers who want to deploy their software fast and easily. In our opinion, it is also good for cutting the cost. However, it cannot provide bare metal server performance like traditional servers, nor does it provide full native support in system and SSH.
