Google Kubernetes Engine vs. IBM Cloud Code Engine

Google Kubernetes Engine is well suited for dynamic and large workloads since it can scale up with usage. It is easily configurable, which allows for flexibility. User interface is simple to navigate, which reduces roadblocks for a team with people unfamiliar with Kubernetes. Great if you are already using other GCP services as it integrates well with that.

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.

• Deployment of a new GKE cluster is really fast in comparison to other cloud providers.
• GCP is ahead other vendors and always provide the most up to date Kubernetes version.
• GKE automation for master upgrade and the worker nodes pool works really well.

• 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.

• Not as intuitive as it could be
• Documentation could be better, especially for people using other Google Cloud tools
• Not the preferred Kubernetes Engine for many apps

• 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

It's a great product if you learn it. It has flexibility and is very strong. Autoscaling and Resource management make running huge applications a breeze. Using Helm with Kubernetes and Terraform for infrastructure creation can totally automate your CICD pipeline. You also get easy access to CUDA cores for machine learning.

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.

Google support is excellent and helpful, but the first answer is always so bureaucratic no matter how many logs, evidence, and information you sent.

We had to move several products to Google Cloud, and the Google Kubernetes Engine was the option recommended to us, so we investigated it and ran with it. Back then (2019), we were not aware of Cloud Run-provisioned K8s clusters, so our other option was a completely self-managed K8s cluster on Compute Engine VMs, which we did not have the knowledge of and capacity to handle.

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.

• Compared to other big K8s providers it has the best price/performance factors.
• Upgrade process from stable to regular versions
• Old stable releases: 1.15/1.16 should be in a stable branch.

• 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.
