Summary
IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service creates a cluster of compute hosts and deploys highly available containers. A Kubernetes cluster lets you securely manage the resources that you need to quickly deploy, update and scale applications.
Features
Native Kubernetes Experience
Use the tools and APIs you already know for a single, consistent experience, even when working across different cloud infrastructures.
Leverage Watson
Easily integrate cognitive solutions with a variety of Watson APIs to extend the power of your applications.
Secure Clusters
IBM provides security features to protect your cluster infrastructure, isolate your compute resources, and ensure security compliance in your container deployments.
Self-healing Containers
Configure a custom Kubernetes cluster that auto-scales and recovers containers based on defined policies.
Logging and Monitoring
Use the built-in logging and metrics service to monitor the performance of both your clusters and containers.
Intelligent Scheduling
Kubernetes automatically deploys containers on compute hosts according to the available resources across the cluster.
Tutorials and Documentation
See the 'View Docs' link for IBM Cloud Container Service documentation and tutorials on items like creating clusters and deploying apps into clusters.
