Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

We use Kubernetes in a production environment to stream millions of events per second with real-time data ingestion apps. Kubernetes has an acceptable learning curve and allows us to manage all our microservice containers.
  • Highly scalable
  • Great documentation
  • Makes it a lot easier to establish effective CI/CD pipelines
  • If you have Lite account you can't create service with LoadBalancer, only NodePort is available
  • Long waiting times to deploy the service
  • IBM gave us $200. If you are a new user - you can try Kubernetes for no cost.
  • Control your pods easily
IBM Cloud has a lot of benefits for deploying containerized applications and compared with other cloud products IBM is cheaper.
IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service is great if you want to control microservice architecture in production environments because IBM Cloud, brings us high availability, and strong support. [It is a] resilient and secure platform. You will have an interface for checking node status and logs for control issues in your systems. You can integrate easily with other IBM services.
