I use it daily when I am releasing code in to a new environment and I can see the new containers and pods starting up and scaling as needed. It takes a lot of knowledge to implement this in production but once it's there it's easy to intergate the features into your developmnent/deployment workflow. **What do you dislike about Kubernetes?** It's pretty hard to get going as there are a lot of things you need to understand, and then a lot of configuration files needed to set up a production ready system. You really have to be a specialist or go slowly with it. **What problems is Kubernetes solving and how is that benefiting you?** The biggest problem it solves is how to manage the deployment and operation of a number of services running together without disruption and downtime. It means a fully commercial high volume service can run without glitches. ### 2. Best for Deploying software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pratikesh G. | Software Engineer - 2, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite:** Invitation from G2. This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2024 **What do you like best about Kubernetes?** I loved how we can do automatic rollouts and even rollbacks in Kubernetes. It is best for small-size startups where most of the managing is handled automatically inside the software. It automatically restarts the failing nodes and manages the containers such as restarting, killing, and rescheduling them. **What do you dislike about Kubernetes?** Setting up clusters can consume time. A lot of resources are required for Kubernetes to manage all the nodes and containers. **What problems is Kubernetes solving and how is that benefiting you?** It manages my containers automatically. Whenever a container is failing or having any issues, it will automatically restart and reschedule that container and it also manages the failing nodes by killing them or running them again. This helps in managing the containers where a lot of time is required to manage multiple containers. This is time-saving for sure. ### 3. Best container orchestration tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Atishay J. | SDE1, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal gift card as thank you for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite:** Invitation from G2.

As a Backend developer I use Kubernetes to upscale load balancing and vice versa. Namespace is one of the key features which Kubernetes provides, which helps to separate clusters easily on common nodes. **What do you dislike about Kubernetes?** Kubernetes is meant for large scale solutions, so it may be difficult to learn at the start. **What problems is Kubernetes solving and how is that benefiting you?** We need multi-site deployment on the same client server, so we use the namespace feature of Kubernetes, which helps to separate and manage clusters easily. ### 4.

Interface of kubernetes is very user friendly and easy to use. It is open so continous improvements are there always. We can easily configure pods, deployments everything by just writing yaml's. **What do you dislike about Kubernetes?** We have not encountered any disliking so far as per our use. **What problems is Kubernetes solving and how is that benefiting you?** It acts as the container management tool for our backend and frontend applications.

2. Optimal Usage and Management of Infra Resources - The ability to run one/more application on a single VM
3. Extensive Community Support online
4. Rolling Updates of Pods, Deployments, Services, Stateful Sets helps in ensuring uninterrupted availability **What do you dislike about Kubernetes?** 1. Network Configuration could be really challenging like setting up network policies (netpol) to set ingress and egress.
2. There is a lot of operational overhead in managing multi-cluster environment and its components.
3. Constant Updates to kops and backward compatibility is also a major challenge **What problems is Kubernetes solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps ensuring resource optimal usage which cuts the infra cost significantly.

We can divide our application into small pieces and do development independently and develop application make it live fast. Best part of k8s is zero down time, self healing, scaling, security, automatic rollback. **What do you dislike about Kubernetes?** In initial it's a little bit hard to understand the way it works. There is so much learning curve for in beginning. **What problems is Kubernetes solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kubernetes almost solves all aspects of business needs while developing the application. It makes faster release and makes application highly available and self-healing, security, easy rollback like we have so many benefits with Kubernetes. ### 8.

Kubernetes is the right choice. It's better than Docker and other counterparts, and Kubernetes has a large community. **What do you dislike about Kubernetes?** Kubernetes can be a little complex to set up and configure. Also, the networking part is hard to understand if you're a beginner, and support for running it on a Windows environment is very limited. Kubernetes doesn't offer any built-in solutions for monitoring and logging. **What problems is Kubernetes solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kubernetes makes it easy to manage, run, scale, load balance, and deploy containerized applications. It has several features like self-healing, high availability, and one of the most important features of Kubernetes, i.e., rolling updates and rollbacks. If anything goes wrong when you update an application running on Kubernetes, you can always roll back to previous versions without breaking anything. ### 10.

Many complex integrations and cross-functional systems can be easily simplified, implemented, and managed through Kubernetes. My team and I use Kubernetes for most of our project deployments and management. Customizations according to the specific requirements of a project and process are an important feature of Kubernetes. **What do you dislike about Kubernetes?** Nothing much. But I expect the use of AI and ML in future upgrades of Kubernetes. **What problems is Kubernetes solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have many projects in specific Container architectures. Kubernetes is managing all container infrastructure in one place. It's like the best buddy of our Infra team. ### 11.

We deployed our 250+ applications to kubernetes which were running on VM's earlier. This specific activity saves a lot of costs. And also other benefits like quick testing and deployments. - [View Kubernetes pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/american-cloud-kubernetes/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-09-29+03%3A14%3A43+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=4f5de8b2-ded1-48f5-87e3-3fe1f0efe00a&secure%5Btoken%5D=d5d5f6f4be87abc1535a25ec3135e799727687e11d51f3b5cc92670178b95e37&format=llm_user) ## Kubernetes Features **Management** - Access Control - Network Isolation - File Isolation **Organization** - Packaging - Container Networking - Orchestration **Development** - Developer Toolkit - Architecture - Datacenter - Virtualization ## Top Kubernetes Alternatives - [DigitalOcean](https://www.g2.com/products/digitalocean/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (744 reviews) - [Akamai Cloud Computing](https://www.g2.com/products/akamai-cloud-computing/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (390 reviews) - [Red Hat OpenShift](https://www.g2.com/products/red-hat-red-hat-openshift/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (291 reviews)
