1. IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service offers Container Runtime Interface plugin which facilitates our API integrations

2. Control loops are provisioned effectively to track of our cluster states and our data plane optimization is done through analyzing its performance metrics.

3. All host activities & monitoring protocols are managed through runtime container security features.

4. Managing our resource permissions and user access policies are easily done in our Kubernetes cluster deployments through container policy management.

5. We can include custom resource definitions to our API-integrated clusters so that we can utilize replica sets and not necessarily build our servers from scratch.

Pros

1. It allows us to orchestrate our containers and offer excellent scalability for our applications to move into production environment.

2. Container monitoring feature collects essential metrics & tracks our containerized applications for their smooth performance.

3. It implements changes safely to our production by proactively identifying issues and redeploying our containerized applications quickly.

Cons

There isn't anything in particular which I can mention as I like the least about IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service. It provides Realtime insights into our metadata, pod configurations and performance metrics which helps in overviewing the health of all containers and redeploy them in case of any issues.
