Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

Explored IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service to understand its capabilities in case customers wants help with it

Pros

  • Openshift integration
  • Highly available masters
  • multi-zone clusters
  • integration with Watson API

Cons

  • user interface could be better
  • not heavily advertised
  • more manuals, and in general instructions would be helpfull
  • additional technology in our Kubernetes portfolio
  • we needed to spend some time to get understanding of it
  • potentially could get opportunities with customers who use IBM Kubernetes
GUI interface could be better. Haven't used API integration with continuous integration tools
We used integrations with cloud services briefly. I think this integration is the main advantage for customers and one of the main reasons why they choose IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service
