Kubernetes : orchestration tool

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.

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.
