IBM Cloud Code Engine vs. IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

Looking for a reasonably priced and dependable cloud solution, I suggest IBM Cloud Virtual Servers to everyone. For businesses needing excellent uptime and performance free from the trouble of running actual servers, it's fantastic. However, it may not be the best choice if you need hands on support for server configurations.

IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service is ideal for deploying modern applications on a microservices architecture -- where easy scaling and ability to update are important. IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service also handles automated deployments and load balancing very well, particularly if you're already working in the IBM Cloud ecosystem. There are applications less suited to IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service -- such as very small applications, where managing an IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service cluster would be overkill. Also, users not familiar with container organization might find IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service to be a challenge to manage effectively.

• Server-less platform that is automatically managed
• Pay per use - scale to zero results in an extremely cheap total cost of ownership.
• There is no need for you to set the size, deploy, or scale container clusters yourself.
• Auto scaling is always helpful and easy to use.

• IBM has a strong focus on serverless and Kubernetes. This shows in the platform. Deploying containers to Kubernetes was very easy.
• Deploying a Kubernetes cluster through the GUI is very easy and quick. On top of that, IBM Cloud offers a single node cluster for Free.
• Container Registry is a very good product for managing container images. Integration with Kubernetes was seemless.
• Portability. To transition from Google Cloud Kubernetes to IBM Cloud Kubernetes took almost no effort. We mostly use the CLI and the standard tools such as kubectl were present.

• the pricing structure is complicated, and the servers are expensive. I really think they should offer better pricing options and support for more languages
• sometimes the servers go down, and they take too long to respond to support tickets
• uploading documents is slow since I have to do it one by one, making the process much longer than it should be

• I constantly get this error even when everything is well configured prefect.exceptions.AuthorizationError: [{'path': ['auth_info'], 'message': 'AuthenticationError: Forbidden', 'extensions': {'code': 'UNAUTHENTICATED'}}]
• Then sometimes the error disapear without changine anything, happened twice to me. Should there be an issue with the authentication service? Please let's improve or let users know why this may be happening.
• Improve the UX in the browse console when removing many images at once
• UX on the process of installing KeyCloack operator

We have our application running on a CentOS compartment on IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service. We have been utilizing the help since IBM Cloud initially dispatched. We liked the adaptability and versatility that IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service give us. Since we are tiny, the Kubernetes administration is just utilized at present inside my venture bunch.

The product Cloud features setting was not that tricky, and the functions are easy to manipulate and provide quality Cloud services. The data connectivity through IBM Cloud Code Engine is very simple and the transfer speed is very impressive. A/B Testing using IBM Cloud Code Engine is effective performed and data security is on top.

We actually haven't had any real problems in our clusters recently and the results we have gotten from adopting IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service have been beyond even our greatest expectations. The community has helped optimize the use of the system and make it relatively simpler to use.

IBM's cloud is almost infallible.

IBM's cloud has a site in my conuntry (MEXICO) so the network latency was almost 0

The self-guided support was solid, and there are plenty of online videos to guide first time users, but I think one area of improvement is a faster way to transfer a large quantity of files from our local machine to the cloud for storage (Aspera)

Online training is really an important resource for using these tools. IBM's help center is rich in useful information and tips. Also, external guides and tutorials are available (e.g. on youtube), but I followed only IBM ones and I had no difficulties.

Ease of use. Very intuitive. We have been looking for a product that allows us to orchestrate our docker containers in a way where it allows us to effectively scale our applications to production. It also provides us a way of monitoring all our infrastructure in a very clear concise way.

Having only some hands-on with the other services, The cloud engine is considerably simpler to operate, with a very clear interface and management. Each application can be easily configured and altered without needing to know anything about different subscription tiers or the system's inner workings. But in the case of Lambda, Depending on the situation, Code Engine will fetch your source code and generate the container image. Code Engine supports both Dockerfile and the Cloud-Native Build bundle, which is preferable. It is possible to create applications that send messages based on events.

I have earlier used various services, such as Kubernetes and Google Cloud Run. Still, IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service offers more convenience and a larger set of functions and features are available in Kubernetes. Google Cloud Run is much closer to a server less approach to deployment, although it gives slightly less flexibility in terms of configuration than IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service.

IBM's CKS does not offers automatic autoscaling nor vertical scaling (automatic). Other services like Google Kubernetes Engine scales up and down very well

• IBM maintains the same high degree of security that has been essential for its operations since the dawn of the computing market while streamlining data governance in a real cloud model as a dependable business partner for organizations all across the globe.
• Apart from providing the instruments needed for efficient work the user friendly interface helps non-IT professionals to understand the system in a limited period of time.
• The latest IBM Cloud Code Engine design is based on an innovative approach to buying and bundling of products.

• IKS can provide around 30% savings when it comes to operational costs since Kubernetes is designed to run applications in most machines in the most efficient manner possible.
• Managed Kubernetes can save a company time by 45% since Managed Kubernetes usually is seamlessly updated, without any interruptions with the workload. IKS fall into this benefit.
• We heard people had saved in maintenance downtimes when it comes to Kubernetes by a factor of 10 so IKS can contribute to more flexible and distributed services with virtually no downtime.
