What differentiates Kubernetes (K8s) from other similar products?

There are some other competitors to Kubernetes, even one created by the Docker's creator (Docker Swarm). But being developed by a giant like Google and being the oldest at the market, makes Kubernetes a reliable and highly adopted platform to containers orchestration.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

How Kubernetes takes the infrastructure management and resources usage to other level, giving us the ability to load our applications way faster and by using the available resources in a smart way.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The level of complexity on its usage. You really need to deep understand all concepts and nuances to be able to run something in production mode.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You need to invest enough time to learn how Kubernetes does its tasks to get a better results. Also, be close to your developers providing the needed information in order they can develop the application under a "Kubernetes perspective". This is perhaps the most valuable point you need to focus in.

Configuration Management Tracking of server configuration and configuration changes.

Agent or Agentless The orchestration, provisioning, deployment and management of servers being done with or without a software agent.

Multi Tenancy Software works in tandem with hosting system and the management of the multiple systems running in the same environment with appropriate levels of segregation.

Systems Administration Tools allowing the systems administration of multiple servers through a single tool, to reduce repetitive task execution.

Workflow Support The ability to incorporate pre-defined workflows into provisioned servers.
