Alternatives Considered

IBM Storage for Red Hat OpenShift, Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Well, as we were in a state to compulsory implement this service, but then it is very suited for deployment of a service that has higher fault tolerance. And maintaining the lifecycle of custom made resources. And the ability to integrate other services also

IBM Cloud Portfolio
