What is IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service?
IBM Cloud™ Kubernetes Service is a managed container service for the rapid delivery of applications that can bind to advanced services like Watson™ and blockchain. As a certified K8s provider, IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service provides intelligent scheduling, self-healing, horizontal scaling, service discovery and load balancing, automated rollouts and rollbacks, and secret and configuration management. The Kubernetes service also has advanced capabilities around simplified cluster management, container security and isolation policies, the ability to design your own cluster, and integrated operational tools for consistency in deployment.
IBM Cloud runs on Kubernetes for massive scale and workload diversity
Learn how to build with Kubernetes, Istio and Watson
How customers use it
Deploy a scalable web application on Kubernetes
This tutorial walks you through how to scaffold a web application, run it locally in a container and then deploy it to an IBM Cloud Kubernetes cluster. In addition, you’ll learn how to bind a custom domain, monitor the health of the environment and scale.
Analyze logs and monitor the health of Kubernetes applications
This tutorial walks you through creating a cluster and configuring the Log Analysis and the Monitoring service. Then, you will deploy an application to the cluster, use Kibana to view and analyze logs, and use Grafana to view health and metrics.
Continuous deployment to Kubernetes
This tutorial walks you through setting up a continuous integration and delivery pipeline for containerized applications running in Kubernetes. This will cover the setup of source control, build, test and deploy stages, as well as adding integrations such as security scanners, notifications and analytics.
Create clusters
In this tutorial series, you can see how a fictional public relations firm uses Kubernetes capabilities to deploy a containerized app in the IBM Cloud. Leveraging IBM Watson Tone Analyzer, the PR firm analyzes its press releases and receives feedback.
