Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Virtual Servers

I am using IBM Cloud Virtual Servers directly to test the design decisions that have been taken for client solutions. Cloud Virtual servers are an easy and cost effective way of building test/POC environments to test out architecture designs and to provide quick and easy proof of concept facilities.
  • Quick provision times.
  • Plenty of configuration options.
  • Easily managed.
  • Flexible.
  • No improvements to suggest.
  • Provide a quick time to value.
We don't use transient servers currently, but it looks like a good option and we would use this option then the situation arises.
Cloud Virtual Servers are definitely well suited to dev/test and POC environments.
