Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Virtual Servers

We have two applications, MySkrambler and GoTrackr. We are using the virtual server to deploy our backend and frontend on the cloud. Stability and availability.

Pros

  • Virtualization.
  • Security.
  • Diversity with types.
  • Cheap.

Cons

  • Swap file can be automated like in Azure.
  • Mounting external storage blobs is tough and a long process.
  • Firewall and security groups are limited not like Azure and Amazon.
  • Affordable prices.
  • Stability and availability and good performance.
  • Security limitation in firewall.
I am open to the cloud and new technology. I always try to check what every cloud can provide and I try to have the experience on each Cloud service. IBM has also proved it's capability to provide the same value of service under lower prices. I am happy to have my applications running on IBM with the same high performance on different clouds.
Ubuntu Linux, Jenkins, Gitlab, Kibana, Elasticsearch, Logstash, Docker
It's a good VS in order to host an app and guarantee good performance, stability, and availability in an affordable price. However, there's limitation when it comes to creating multiple security groups.
