Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

We adopted IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service for container orchestration and we migrated our entire infrastructure to Kubernetes, starting with our website applications and concluding with the backend of the operations. IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service unlocked our confidence in being able to deploy quickly, learn, and even at times when we make a mistake, we can roll it back without any issue. After implementing this system we quickly started to realize the benefit of having seamless upgrades and easy rollbacks without any issue and now we can experiment with existing applications and create new services blazingly fast.
  • It lets developers work in the same environment that the application will be running in production
  • It made it easier to test, easier to refine, and easier to deploy
  • Helped engineers embrace the DevOps mindset as they built software
  • The language to define containers is initially hard to understand
  • Load time for our apps was reduced by half
  • Low deploy times
  • The operating expenses decreased by as much as 50%
All of the container management systems we evaluated are popular and each has its unique features and benefits. Kubernetes is the solution we found with containerization, agile development, and continuous delivery which would shorten the time it took to get a project up and running and into our infrastructure.
It is fairly difficult to understand for someone only familiar with traditional hosting and development environments, however, customer support provides plenty of help along the way.
  • Online training
  • in-person training
Kubernetes training is delivered in an easy-to-consume way. They provide courses that lay the groundwork for Kubernetes journey where you learn fundamental knowledge on containers and how they work and provide an overview of the concepts underlying Kubernetes.

Do you think IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service's feature set?

Yes

Did IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service again?

Yes

The impact has been considerable and we have already migrated all our services to Kubernetes so we will definitely renew the service
It relieves the development team from the tasks that they don't want to do, ensures we execute seamless upgrades frequently, and keeps cluster performance and security up-to-date. This system is one of the automation drivers and we use it to build solutions that are fast, resilient, and that is running perfectly.
