From deploying pods to scaling, the effortless process of CI/CD and the way we can run sidecar containers, cronjobs, and ingress are just perfect and it is the best tool for deploying microservices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canonical Kubernetes?

Rollout restart sometimes is not able to fetch the newly updated configuration mentioned in the config map, it really becomes much more complicated to handle those situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to deploy any application, Kubernetes features like deployment and replica set, confident the user to get the lower downtime or application can be restarted without downtime using the rollout restart command, which I like the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canonical Kubernetes?

There is almost everything is perfect with Kubernetes when we use it with ubuntu flavor, But sometimes ingress and istio configuration confused me And had difficulty finding out what is the reason for it. This can be minimized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kubernetes deployments hosted on Ubuntu is brilliant for Ephemeral Containers"
4/5
What do you like best about Canonical Kubernetes?

Kubernetes on Ubuntu is versatile and convenient when it comes to declaring the environmental variables of our container. It provides naming value pairs of useful metadata which is automatically configured during run-time of the pods and useful when it comes to identification and tagging. Cluster management is also great feature as it can effectively organize and instantiate our deployments for our containerized applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canonical Kubernetes?

Overall, Kubernetes on Ubuntu is suitable if you plan to organize a Kube-controlled manager for your organization. One thing that I noticed is while initializing our containers using the init container, and I need to ensure its completion before proceeding with other tasks. It can only be observed at a significant level if you deploy 100+ containerized K8 clusters, else you won't even feel the time-lapse for minor deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
