Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

As a container management platform, I use IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service to deploy and manage containerized applications on the cloud. IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service allows me to package software code, along with all dependencies, so it can run reliably on any system. IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service helps me to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

Pros

  • Simplified cluster management
  • Security and isolation
  • Scalability

Cons

  • Setting up an IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service cluster can be complex and involve managing different components.
  • The learning curve can be a bit steep for new users.
  • Managing resources can sometimes be a challenge.
  • Increased development speed and agility allows to build features faster and more economically.
  • Improved resource utilization helps keep applications running very efficiently, which saves on cloud service expenses.
  • Scalability and resilience allows for scaling up or down based on demand, which keeps applications running efficiently and more economically.

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

IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service is ideal for deploying modern applications on a microservices architecture -- where easy scaling and ability to update are important. IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service also handles automated deployments and load balancing very well, particularly if you're already working in the IBM Cloud ecosystem.

There are applications less suited to IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service -- such as very small applications, where managing an IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service cluster would be overkill. Also, users not familiar with container organization might find IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service to be a challenge to manage effectively.
