What do you like best about Azure Kubernetes Services?

Once application is deployed on Azure k8s, it is easy manage and scale.

User friendly UI.

Though deploying seems easy on k8s, integrating k8s services over other services relying in other cloud providers required more effort.

Having track over the cost on k8s services is difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
