Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

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

  • Scalability
  • Usage
  • availability

Cons

  • Cloud console.
  • Fastness
  • Price
  • Works well.
  • Easy administration.
  • Satisfied customer.
The application helped facilitate container orchestration and create new clusters for test cases. Resource allocation works as expected and fulfills its role well. Storage was a little slow at times, in my opinion, but it was nothing that affected the overall experience of using the product. I could use it again in the future.
This service gave me greater control over the application's infrastructure, which was under development, and opened the door to greater scalability, thus avoiding an overload of resources. Using Kubernetes in cloud environments makes organizing and managing the environment much more straightforward. The division between development, testing, and production environments becomes much more straightforward, saving time.
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.

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

Not sure

Would you buy IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service again?

This service fits very well for tasks that require integration with other IBM tools, is very similar to different cloud services that offer support for Kubernetes, and can be a good option for those looking to try a new platform. I would recommend its use in cases where scalability is a key factor.
