Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

We use IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service in order to get high availability in some simple web applications that are relevant to our daily work. This is a challenge to my organization because we don't have enough human and computational resources to spend in order to create and support a more advanced set up with those services.
  • The tutorials are detailed and easy to follow.
  • The applications are easy to support and manage. IBM's interface shows important information properly.
  • It takes lees than 1 hour to get a working Kubernetes cluster!
  • Some parts of the tutorials need to be upgraded.
  • Knowledge of IBM console and configuration may be needed.
  • IBM's interfaces interaction with logs and Kubernetes configuration could be upgraded.
  • It help us to have HA in some simple services.
  • The support is easier than in other platforms and that gives. us time to pay attention to other more important systems
  • We had to spend some time getting information about how to deal with IBM cloud services.
The GUI is really useful and is one of the reasons that make this platform different and competitive compared to other cloud providers. Some tutorials have information about the use of older versions.
The GUI is better. The platform is designed to create a good user experience and easily deploy simple applications. You do not need prior knowledge of Kubernetes!
IBM Cloud Kubernetes is well suited if the application has an important role in your organization and you need to have any level of high availability. However, at the same time, you have more complex core-applications that need more time to deal with. If the application you are trying to configure is not very complex and you are not very familiar with Kubernetes, this is a good way to start.
