The IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service is a managed Kubernetes solution built for creating a cluster of compute hosts to deploy and manage containerized apps on IBM Cloud. IBM manages the master, freeing developers from having to administer the host OS, container runtime, and Kubernetes version-update process. It offers features such as native Kubernetes, secure clusters, and leveraging IBM Watson APIs. The service also provides predefined Kubernetes storage classes, integrated networking and security controls, and a private Docker image registry. Other related IBM cloud services include IBM Cloud Code Engine, Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud, and IBM Cloud Foundry.
