Managed Kubernetes has streamlined hybrid deployments and has allowed my team to focus on development
My overall experience with Platform9 Managed Kubernetes has been positive, but there are a few areas where I think it could improve. Since it is a managed platform, there are times when there is limited control over certain low-level configurations compared to self-managed Kubernetes. Although Kubernetes concepts are standard, some platform-specific workflows and UI elements take time to get used to initially. Troubleshooting can also be slightly challenging because we do not have direct access to the control plane, so we rely on the platform tools and logs, which can be somewhat cumbersome. I feel that more real-world use case examples or deeper documentation for advanced scenarios would make onboarding even smoother.
