IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service Reviews
"Kubernetes Review"
Pros: I am using this remarkable orchestration tool in order to deploy, organize and control multiple applications. Indeed, we can smoothly scale up and down the containers, track their deployment history or alert the users in case of error.
Cons: Although it is a considerable tool, it is still quite complex, as it necessitates familiarity with numerous concepts such as containerization, networking and so on.
"Best k8s environment for modern business"
Overall: It clearly optimized our systems, and migrating to a cloud k8s was the best move as a growing business. It saved a lot of investment in processing capability and maintaining the environment is much simpler.
Pros: After configuring your clusters, you can easily deploy and test your apps to your staging environments before sending them to production. Your secrets can be preconfigured in a common database to be accessible to all your microservices.
Cons: It requires at least a small engineering or DevOps team in order to configure and set up a proper environment with QA and TA environment. This is not necessarily a con but a must to have in consideration.
"A little competitor for bigger features"
Pros: it was surprising finding kubernates in ibm world, very comfortabile for who always moved through ibm world
Cons: it is still far from other competitor like amazon or others but better comparing to d2c or other little companies
"CRI Plugin provided by IBM Cloud K8 service effectively prevents cluster component recompilation "
Overall: 1. IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service offers Container Runtime Interface plugin which facilitates our API integrations 2. Control loops are provisioned effectively to track of our cluster states and our data plane optimization is done through analyzing its performance metrics. 3. All host activities & monitoring protocols are managed through runtime container security features. 4. Managing our resource permissions and user access policies are easily done in our Kubernetes cluster deployments through container policy management. 5. We can include custom resource definitions to our API-integrated clusters so that we can utilize replica sets and not necessarily build our servers from scratch.
Pros: 1. It allows us to orchestrate our containers and offer excellent scalability for our applications to move into production environment. 2. Container monitoring feature collects essential metrics & tracks our containerized applications for their smooth performance. 3. It implements changes safely to our production by proactively identifying issues and redeploying our containerized applications quickly.
Cons: There isn't anything in particular which I can mention as I like the least about IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service. It provides Realtime insights into our metadata, pod configurations and performance metrics which helps in overviewing the health of all containers and redeploy them in case of any issues.
"Kubernetes : orchestration tool"
Overall: Using this software helped me to orchestrate microservice along with load balancing and easy scaling
Pros: First of all , this software is so friendly in terms of user interactions and experience . In addition, it is so scalable as well. We can host/manage our app easily and orchestrate docker containers.
Cons: As for the new users, it will be so hard/difficult to be familiar with this software and to understand the main feature behind this tool since it requires a lot of experience.
