Improve the availability and agility of your applications with Kubernetes
As part of our Virtual Data Center Service, Alhambra Cloud offers you the possibility of deploying Docker containers, managed through Kubernetes clusters, quickly and easily, from the same service provisioning and management console.
What is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes (k8s) is a powerful open source platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling and management of containers. In essence, Kubernetes acts as a conductor that harmonizes the compute, networking and storage infrastructure, along with the containers involved, ensuring the flawless operation of the deployed applications or microservices, in compliance with established performance and availability rules.
What do we offer you from Alhambra Cloud?
From Alhambra Cloud we offer you the possibility that, even without technical knowledge about Kubernetes or VMware Tanzu, you can deploy a cluster in an automated way with a few clicks, in less than 15 minutes, and continue with its life cycle in an agile and efficient way
- 100% integrable with cloud services in any cloud
- Advice and support from our professionals
- Service based on VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (CNCF Compliance)
Benefits of Alhambra Cloud’s Kubernetes as a Service
Easy deployment
Deploy template-based Kubernetes clusters through a single virtual data centre (vCloud) management console.
Maximum control
Granular control over the VApps (logical group of one or more virtual machines) hosted by the cluster.
Full integration
Achieve easy integration with your existing Virtual Data Centres for hybrid solutions.
Consistency between development, test and production environments
The application works the same on a laptop and in the cloud.
Portability between clouds and distributions
Works on Ubuntu, RHEL, CoreOS, your physical data centre, Google Kubernetes Engine, etc.
Application-centric management
Raises the level of abstraction from the operating system and virtualised hardware to the application running on a system with logical resources.
Distributed, elastic, loosely-coupled, released and loosely-coupled microservices
Applications are separated into small, independent pieces that can be dynamically deployed and managed.
Isolation and resource utilisation
Makes application performance more predictable, as well as enabling greater efficiency and density.
Agile application creation and deployment
Greater ease and efficiency by creating container images instead of virtual machines.
Also...
Continuous development, integration and deployment
It allows the container image to be built and deployed frequently and reliably, facilitating rollbacks as the image is immutable.
Separation of tasks between Dev and Ops
You can create container images at build time and not at deployment, decoupling the application from the infrastructure.
Increased observability
Not only OS information and metrics are presented, but also application health and other signals.
