Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service for a short period while working on a project for a client. We needed a solution that was easy to manage and within our budget, so we went with IBM. The learning curve is not steep for those who have used similar services from other cloud providers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Scalability
Usage
availability

Cloud console.

Return on Investment

Works well.
Easy administration.
Satisfied customer.

Alternatives Considered

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)

Both services are very similar and work in a very similar way, both fulfilling their purpose well. IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service was chosen to test how a different platform from the traditional one would work during the execution of the project and whether it would perform well. Anyone who has used similar services from other providers will notice the similarity.
