Kubernetes Reviews

We use Kubernetes for hosting microservices-based applications. Kubernetes varies depending on which distribution you use. We have distributors that make these custom distributions, and I don't have any special requirements.

I like Kubernetes' scalability, built-in redundancy, and ease of deployment.

I've been working on Kubernetes for maybe five years.

It depends on how you set Kubernetes up, but it's usually stable.

Community-based Kubernetes is quite hard to set up. We usually use a version of Kubernetes provided by some distributor because they have built-in assistance for the installation. It's much easier, and most of the installation is done automatically.

If it's a cloud-based solution, you just set up a cluster, then click a button, and it's done in 20 minutes. But if it's an on-prem solution where you have to configure the hardware and hypervisor, it can take longer. If you have a cloud solution, then it's just to a click of a button, but the on-prem version could be simplified.

I rate Kubernetes seven out of 10. More and more applications will be based on virtual machines using container-based solutions. That's the way forward, so I would recommend Kubernetes.

My primary use case of this solution is for infrastructure implementations - we allocate an EC2 instance and then define how many worker nodes are needed to run the application and the managed nodes.

More automation could improve the product - specifically, it would be useful to be able to shut down any IT machines that are currently not in use.

I have been using Kubernetes for around a year and a half.

I think this solution is stable.

I think Kubernetes is scalable in a vertical manner, depending on the type of instances in the worker mode. If you don't have resources, you can certainly add another worker node and expand the cluster.

With the latest edition of Kubernetes, there is a concern in terms of infrastructure regarding AWS support. There is no specific contact point for issues with Kubernetes, so we have to rely on the internet and blogs in order to work out what has gone wrong. 

The setup was not straightforward. There were certain challenges in setting up the product requiring a lot of time on proper configuration and compiling. The first time we deployed took a lot of time but now we can do it in around a week.

You don't need a license for Kubernetes, but you do have to pay for usage.

I would rate Kubernetes as ten out of ten.

We use Kubernetes as a container management solution. We use the Kubernetes solution for security analysis on Verizon's client systems.

Kubernetes container services can be used for deploying applications and they can be deployed on the path layer. You deploy Kubernetes, and inside it, you deploy VMs and application containers. If you take Cloud Foundry inside the data cells, you deploy the application and data. This is how the solution operates.

The solution is easy to use.

I have been using Kubernetes for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

Kubernetes is scalable.

The support could be faster at resolving issues.

We have approximately 12 workers that do the implementation.

The solution requires a license to use it.

I would recommend this Kubernetes to others, it is a good technology.

I rate Kubernetes an eight out of ten.

We deploy microservices. We provide the screen namespaces. 

Kubernetes' integration with AWS Lambda is great. I barely had to write any code to connect from EKS to Lambda, so Kubernetes is programmer friendly.

Kubernetes could adopt UI-based approach. A UI-based approach would be really useful in the CI/CD pipeline. They should make everything a little bit more user-friendly.  For example, when I'm deploying, it would be nice to load my code and be able to see which components need to be connected. 

I've been using Kubernetes for more than two years. 

Kubernetes support is fine. That is not a problem.

Deploying Kubernetes is straightforward. Some are using GitLab. However, it does take a little bit of time, and it could be faster. 

Licenses for Kubernetes are on a yearly basis.

I rate Kubernetes nine out of 10. I would recommend it.

Kubernetes is a container management platform. 

I use it to be able to sell it to my customers. I am evaluating it and its general features.

I would like to have more knowledge and a good understanding of Kubernetes, what it can do, and what the use cases are to meet the customer's requirements or environment. 

By using it, I can properly advise the clients of what Kubernetes can, and can't do.

Scalability is the most valuable feature.

With Kubernetes, you also get High Availability.

Kubernetes can be used for most companies, but for some companies that may be too small, it may not be worth the investment, as it is expensive.

I have been working with Kubernetes for two years.

We are using the latest version.

Kubernetes is a stable product.

Kubernetes is a scalable product.

We have multiple sales teams, some are responsible for large enterprises businesses, some for medium-sized companies.

The documentation they have available is good.

I have not contacted technical support. 

Much like other products such as Red Hat, for example, have their own support.

I work with any product that is related to Kubernetes.

The initial setup was straightforward. 

It's simple, and it is easy to deploy.

We provide implementation services for our clients as well as maintenance.

In addition to Kubernetes, you have to pay for support.

The price could be cheaper.

They offer many different licensing models. There are many options to choose from.

I would recommend this solution to others. 

It is my job to do this and I feel that it is the future of every company.

We are integrators, and we are working on becoming partners, to obtain the certificate.

I would rate Kubernetes a nine out of ten.

We have many use cases for Kubernetes. We manage internal microservices, running MinIO from it which is a distributed storage solution. We have GitLab and many other internal tools that we've converted and set up to Kubernetes and microservices. Our users are mainly software developers who currently number around 60, but we're planning to increase to 100 users in the coming year. We are customers of Kubernetes.

A valuable feature of Kubernetes is its high availability. It's really scalable and more efficient for resource management on the bare metal server on which it runs as opposed to vSphere or pretty much anything else that we've tried before. 

The solution is still complex to manage. It requires specialists to the extent that I wouldn't be able to ask a junior employee to manage the software.

I've been using this solution for six months. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable, you can't get more scalable than Kubernetes.

Kubernetes is community-based so we don't pay for support. 

The initial setup is quite complex. 

The solution is free. 

This is a good product but because of the management complexity I rate it eight out of 10.

If you have a lot of nodes and you want to be able to change the node that you are using, you can use Kubernetes. Kubernetes services allow users to be able to run multiple designs as well.

The stability of the solution is very reliable. The performance is good.

The implementation, and the way that they can, with a few clicks, load hundreds of machines without any trouble is very useful. We found the initial setup to be very straightforward.

There are a lot of benefits.

At this time, there is nothing that I would want to be added to a future release.

The pricing could be improved. It would be ideal if it was a bit less.

I've been using the solution for three years. 

The stability of the solution is very good and the performance is excellent. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

We have about 200 people on the solution at this time.

I'm not using Kubernetes support. I am using Amazon support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive Kubernetes support would be having no experience with them.

We did not previously use a different solution. We have only ever used Kubernetes. 

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not overly complex.

The deployment itself took a few weeks. 

We have seven engineers and they're all going to be able to handle Kubernetes.

We handled the installation with the assistance of an integrator. We did not handle the process alone. 

We'd like the pricing to be lower than what it is now.

We pay a yearly licensing fee. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been very happy with its capabilities so far.

I would recommend the solution to other users.

We use the latest version. 

We use the solution for deployment purposes.

The solution is easy to use.

The solution could be more stable. 

I have been using Kubernetes for about two years.

The solution is stable, although it could be more so. 

The solution is scalable. 

When it comes to technical support, overall, we have managed with the community.

For this project, we started out with Kubernetes. We started only two years back.

The solution was easy to install, although I was not involved in the process and cannot comment on how long it took. 

There are around five people involved in the deployment and maintenance, consisting of workers and engineers.

There is no licensing fee. The solution involves the use of an open source tool.

There are around 300 people using the solution in my organization.

I would recommend this solution to others. 

I rate Kubernetes as a nine out of ten.

We use Kubernetes to provide distribution systems for storage and for the control plane manager.

Kubernetes offers a lot of great features such as scalability and great portability of applications.

I think that the GUI dashboard in Kubernetes is very simple and that there are no great options. Also, it is a very simple HTML GUI. So the Kubernetes community should provide a central and better GUI for managing pods and containers.

I've been working with Kubernetes for around two years.

Kubernetes is very stable.

It is very scalable. If you become a master in Kubernetes, you can provide great configurations to be scalable.

I have to install Kubernetes clusters based on the machines. I spent around one hour to install a Kubernetes cluster with three servers for the master node and around 50 servers for worker nodes.

I implemented it myself.

I would recommend Kubernetes, especially, to development teams and DevOps engineers. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate it at ten.

We use Kubernetes mainly for the apps. We are a government organization, and we have many public-facing apps. We also run all our microservices run on Kubernetes.

I like that it gives you all the flexibility, for example, auto-scaling. Everything is figured out exactly right. It manages all your workloads without much intervention. It can scale in, scale out, and with security. Everything looks pretty good compared to the old legacy way of working.

Kubernetes has been tested and proven. I don't think there's anything that needs improvement, and it has been working very well. But the plugins could be better. That is one pain point we had, and we had to get in with many other open standards, like Calico networking and more. 

I have been using Kubernetes for about three years.

Kubernetes is stable.

Kubernetes was good, and it would automatically scale in and scale-out. We never had issues with scalability.

I have both Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes. Cloud Foundry is much better suited for an organization with less operational stuff. With about three people, you can manage all the apps in it. But Kubernetes needs patching and more, which makes it a bit tricky.

Kubernetes is open source. But we have to manage Kubernetes as a team, and the overhead is a bit high. In comparison, platforms like Cloud Foundry have much lower operational overheads. With Kubernetes, I have to manage the code, and I have to hire the developers. If someone has a product, a developer should know exactly what he's writing or there's high availability, and all those things which impact costs.

I would recommend Kubernetes to new users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Kubernetes an eight.
