A poor choice can result in scalability issues, hidden costs, and operational inefficiencies. Subtle factors also come into play. Some platforms excel in hybrid or multi-cloud deployments, offering flexibility against vendor lock-in. Others prioritize security, providing robust encryption and authentication right off the bat. Ease of use can also be a defining factor, especially for smaller teams.Our Kubernetes Platform Comparator guide aims to offer an unbiased look at how various Kubernetes platforms measure up.
