The Seven Global Providers That Matter Most And How They Stack Up
Tencent Cloud: Forrester's Take
our evaluation found that Tencent Cloud (see figure 10):
› Features unified cluster management and security capabilities. Tencent Cloud's Tencent
Kubernetes engine (TKe) supports the deployment of virtual machines, bare-metal servers, and
GPu servers within a single cluster. it integrates with Tencent Cloud's cloud access management
services with security scanning features from images to container runtime.
› Must improve in ALM and service integrations. Tencent Cloud supports Ci/CD integration with
an image registry that triggers image building automatically, but its support for service mesh,
serverless, and hybrid deployment models are still works in progress.
› Is a good fit for firms seeking native Kubernetes support in the cloud. TKe supports standard
Kubernetes aPis with a management console for basic operations management and cloud-native
app management.
