Driving Container Orchestration With Kubernetes

Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform. It enables the operation of a flexible web server framework for cloud applications. It also automates many manual processes involved in deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications.

Kubernetes allows organizations to orchestrate containers. Either you can set up core on-prem Kubernetes for your workloads, or you can use the managed Kubernetes engines from major cloud vendors. You can also deploy your workloads on a hybrid Kubernetes model by extending on-prem to cloud and multi-cloud Kubernetes environments.

Customized Training

Cloud Kinetics Learning (CKL) offers lab activities for Kubernetes and contextualizes them for your organization’s environment. We recreate your environment and mirror your implementation as close as possible in the lab. CKL also offers customized tech training for your staff to appreciate Kubernetes insights. Customized or standard courses are delivered via virtual or on-prem or stand-alone lab activities.

Plug and Play Offerings

Most enterprises seek to leverage their public cloud capabilities. In this journey, they need to make several decisions. For example, they must decide whether a public or a private cloud is ideal for them. And which cloud services and technologies they should deploy. And how to extend their workloads from on-prem model to specific clouds or multiple clouds.

With Cloud Kinetics’ hybrid and multi-cloud Kubernetes solution, we help customers to adopt the right hybrid or multi-cloud strategy aligned with their business needs.

Why Kubernetes

It is an open-source solution that

  • Allows to orchestrate containers.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Docker is a containerization platform that packages an application and everything it needs to run into a single, portable unit called a container. Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that manages those containers at scale.
Docker and Kubernetes are complementary tools that work together. Docker creates the containers and Kubernetes runs the show, deciding where each container runs.

Yes. Cloud Kinetics manages Kubernetes across all three major cloud platforms, AWS (EKS), Google Cloud (GKE) and Microsoft Azure (AKS). As a Kubernetes Certified Service Provider (KCSP) and top-tier partner of all three cloud providers, we provide end-to-end management for whichever cloud platform your business runs on.

Our onboarding follows a structured three-phase process. Consult & Assess, Architect & Design and Implement & Migrate. We start by understanding your infrastructure and goals, design a Kubernetes environment tailored to your needs and then deploy and test everything before go-live. Once live, our Cloud Kinetics Learning (CKL) programme provides customized training to ensure your teams are equipped to manage the environment.

Through a DevSecOps approach, we embed security configurations directly into the deployment pipeline. Post-deployment, continuous security monitoring and compliance checks are included as part of our managed services, keeping your environment protected throughout.

Whether Kubernetes is the right fit for you will depend on your workload, growth trajectory and operational goals. Kubernetes works well for organizations running multiple applications, handling variable traffic or scaling rapidly. For very small or simple setups, it may be more than necessary. Our Consult & Assess phase helps determine whether Kubernetes is the right fit for your specific workload and goals.
