Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

We provide multiple blockchain api service solution to our client for a proxy voting application used by major stock transfer company in usa. Our blockchain api were hosted and manages inside the IBM [Cloud Kubernetes Service]. The [IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service] has been used by all across the department among the company.

Pros

  • Well Managed node and dashboard
  • Easy to access public and private endpoint
  • Easy to upgrade and downgrade node pool anytime it's been needed
  • Well Managed security and certificates

Cons

  • Service dashboard can be loaded with more goto information
  • Disk, persistent volume etc should be also easy to access from service dashboard
  • Updating node and kubernetes version is pretty hassle some
  • [IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service] is bit Costly
We mainly selected [IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service] because IBM fabric blockchain service is mostly compatible with it. To have all the infrastructure in a single cloud to get the best output we selected the [IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service].
Over the period we have used the [IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service], we hardly get any down time. Most of the network and resource components upgrade are we planned so it never impacted our service.
  • in-person training
  • no training
We don't [have] any online training on [IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service].
As we still continuing using IBM blockchain service so we will keep using [IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service] as well.
It's well-suited for internal service connectivity inside the IBM cloud. If you are using other IBM products then [IBM Cloud Kubernetes] is very suitable to use. For example using IBM blockchain service [IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service] is very helpful. Services that associated with internal IBM cloud components are easy to access and use.
