What do you like best about Canonical Kubernetes?

The best part about the kubernetes on the ubuntu is it is really easy to install, get the pods and containers setted up and has a vast number of features that can potentially increase the scalability of the systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canonical Kubernetes?

There can be more features as for 1 single application we can have n number of cluster nodes, but for all the nodes, the logs are shown separately, that can be unified and a much more cleaner & strong logs system can be introduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canonical Kubernetes solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has helped us to put the project on the Auto-pilot mode for the scaling issues we faced when we had extensive traffic of users, helped us do better tech deployments to servers, autoscale the cluster size etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Canonical Kubernetes?

The documentation, ease of use, compatibility with most Linux distros, the community support, ease of getting started thanks to the hundreds of online resources, performance, presence of almost all necessary functionalities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canonical Kubernetes?

The removal of support for docker in favor of containerD. The absence of kuneenetes for windows. Not necessarily dislikes, rather a wishlist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canonical Kubernetes solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scheduling the Pods to run on certain nodes.

Auto-scaling up or down, horizontally or vertically, the Pods for us.

Allowing the same application to run in multiple Pods with replicas.

Exposing Pods in the form of services so users and other Pods running inside of the Kubernetes cluster can access them. Managing all these without kuneenetes is almost unthinkable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Canonical Kubernetes?

Kubernetes on Ubuntu provides a comprehensive suite of tools for managing containerized applications and services.Including the kubelet, which is the core component of the Kubernetes cluster, and is responsible for the management and execution of the Kubernetes containers.

It also includes the kubeadm tool, which is used to initialize the Kubernetes cluster and manage its components. Additionally, it provides the kubectl command line tool, which is used to manage the Kubernetes cluster and its components.

This helps us to integrate and use swiftly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Canonical Kubernetes?

Kubernetes on Ubuntu requires more effort to set up and configure compared to other Linux distributions, and it is not well-suited for some applications or workloads. Also personally we feel this should be tested rigorously in production environments, as it may be more prone to errors and outages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Canonical Kubernetes solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us reduce the complexity of managing and deploying containerized applications, as well as provides a more efficient way of managing and monitoring your clusters. Most important of all is to increase the scalability and reliability of your application deployments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
