Kubernetes as a Service (KaaS)

A managed service for running Kubernetes clusters in the cloud (Kubernetes-as-a-Service).

Cloud4U makes it easier and more affordable to work with Kubernetes in the cloud.

We provide a reliable, scalable virtual machine infrastructure that is compatible with Kubernetes. Deploy, scale and manage Kubernetes clusters with Container Service Extension (CSE), a proven open source solution.

Kubernetes Cluster Usage Scenarios

  • Auto Scaling

    Automatic scaling allows you to monitor current application demand and, if necessary, reduce or increase the amount of resources used within certain limits. This allows you to avoid paying for unused resources and not worry about growing business needs.

  • Streamline Workflows

    Kubernetes clusters come with built-in monitoring, logging and metrics collection capabilities. This allows you to track statistics and review event logs to analyze cluster health and monitor user actions.

  • Application Migration

    You can move containerized applications from one Kubernetes cluster to another with minimal changes.

  • Creating Test Environments

    Software developers can run code/software in a test environment with different settings to evaluate future behaviour in a real-world environment.

  • Security and compliance

    Optional security plugins help ensure that applications and containers are protected from data leaks, cyberattacks, and other incidents.

How Kubernetes-as-a-service works

Kubernetes-as-a-Service is a cloud-based approach to container orchestration. The solution automates the process of managing, scaling, modifying, updating and deleting Kubernetes containers. It makes it easy to deploy an automation platform, build and run on M8KS clusters, and conduct development in a reliable computing environment. Store Docker images with your infrastructure, get fast image downloads and avoid external traffic costs. And never worry about infrastructure security and fault tolerance.

Kubernetes-as-a-Service (KaaS) is delivered on the Container Service Extension (CSE) and supports major containerization technologies, including Docker. CSE implements the KaaS solution in the cloud dashboard through the creation of virtual machine templates, enabling organizations to deploy complete Kubernetes clusters for containerized applications.

Cloud4U's containerized infrastructure is organized for flexible customization. The solution does not require in-depth knowledge - it easily automates application lifecycle management (from application deployment to shutdown).

The solution reduces Kubernetes deployment time from days to 15 minutes. Developers can focus on writing code without worrying about the system the application will eventually run on. High performance and efficient traffic distribution accelerate their work.

FAQ

What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform used to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications from anywhere. It automates many manual operational tasks involved in updating, scaling, and monitoring multiple containerized applications by creating an abstraction layer on top of the underlying physical infrastructure..

What is a Kubernetes cluster?

A Kubernetes cluster consists of two parts: the control plane (Kubernetes master) and the nodes in the cluster (also known as Kubelets, cluster nodes, worker nodes, or minions). The control plane is responsible for maintaining the desired state of the cluster, while nodes are machines that run containers and workloads.

How is Kubernetes container service managed?

Within an organization, a system administrator or member of the DevOps team assigns tasks through the Kubernetes control plane, which relays those instructions to the nodes. Kubernetes services determine which nodes are available and best suited for the task, allocate resources, and assign the pods in that node to complete the task.

What is Kubernetes as a Service (KaaS)?

Kubernetes as a Service (KaaS) allows Kubernetes to be run as a managed service. KaaS are typically delivered in the public cloud, but can also be deployed on-premises. Key features of KaaS include self-service deployment, Kubernetes upgrades, scalability and multi-cloud portability.

Why do I need Kubernetes as a service?

Running Kubernetes on your own can be complex and requires significant technical expertise. KaaS solves this problem by providing a managed service that performs maintenance tasks, ensures high availability, and releases updates as needed. This allows organisations to leverage the benefits of Kubernetes without the overhead of managing it in-house..

How does Kubernetes as a Service work?

KaaS platforms deploy, manage, and maintain Kubernetes clusters. They provide a convenient interface for managing clusters, continuous monitoring, control plane management, and security features. This allows users to focus on deploying and managing their applications without worrying about the underlying Kubernetes infrastructure..

What are some common challenges of operating Kubernetes in-house?

Common challenges include educating technical teams on Kubernetes, installation and upgrades, deploying applications, managing scalability and cluster configuration, and ensuring a secure configuration.

What are some benefits of using Kubernetes as a Service?

Benefits include convenience, scalability, high availability, and security. KaaS platforms also provide a managed service that takes care of maintenance tasks, ensuring that the Kubernetes infrastructure is always up-to-date and secure..
