Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Virtual Servers

We use IBM Cloud virtual servers for software development tasks, both during development and production. They are great for development time due to their fast spin up times and the isolation they can offer (so that they don't mess up production). They are also great in production because they are highly scalable and have great network performance.
  • Scaling (as with any cloud provider)
  • Security
  • Performance
  • Not as good performance as bare metal
  • lack of documentation
  • User interface
  • cost
  • high uptime
Based on my experience, here are some scenarios where IBM Cloud Virtual Servers is well suited for creating applications that require fast provisioning and high network performance and less well suited for things that require the maximum performance and control (for this i'd use a bare metal server)
