The biggest friction point I've encountered with Platform9 Managed Kubernetes is implementing Ingress on an application; it's really frustrating and takes more than a month to stabilize the application. If I could change one thing about Platform9 Managed Kubernetes, it would be the shift from using Docker to moving to CNI, which would change my workflow. There are no features I wish Platform9 Managed Kubernetes had that it doesn't have today.
With Platform9 Managed Kubernetes, cluster upgrades sometimes fail. Private registry support is available, but integrations with private registry can be somewhat harder. The support part can be better. Platform9 support is not up to par at the moment. Because support is not good, that is a significant reason for improvement. Additional integrations, such as serverless functionality, are not possible at this time, but may be possible in the future. The documentation is somewhat unclear sometimes. If Platform9 improves on these parts, I would rate it between eight and nine instead of my current rating of six.
Platform9 Managed Kubernetes could be better as the implementation part was somewhat challenging, but after the first implementation, it became easy to manage. I would appreciate if Platform9 Managed Kubernetes provided guidance within the portal, as that would be very helpful for the implementation process.
Containers as a Service (CaaS) simplify container management, offering scalable solutions for developers to deploy and manage applications efficiently in cloud environments.
Containers as a Service enable developers to run containers at scale, reducing manual tasks associated with managing containerized applications. Users note the ease of deployment and streamlined workflows that CaaS solutions offer, boosting productivity and application deployment speed.
