Product Overview
Migrating and managing Kubernetes across different cloud environments can be complex. The Kubernetes Everywhere service simplifies this process for customers, ensuring consistent, resource-efficient and cost-effective operation of their containerised deployments across various cloud environments, including Continent 8 Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS) hyperscale cloud.
Why Kubernetes Everywhere?
-
Seamless solution
Kubernetes Everywhere enables users to effortlessly manage workloads between AWS hyperscale cloud environments and Continent 8’s cloud infrastructure. This demand stems from regulatory requirements and cost considerations.
-
Consistent deployment
Kubernetes is the preferred technology for container orchestration. Kubernetes Everywhere allows consistent deployment of Kubernetes workloads across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, significantly reducing the engineering effort required for companies to manage their infrastructure effectively.
-
Cost-effective outposts alternative
AWS Outposts can be expensive and over-engineered when running Kubernetes workloads at the edge. Kubernetes Everywhere offers a cost-effective alternative by managing Kubernetes workloads on the Continent 8 Cloud. This solution is further enhanced with features like Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) and an S3-compatible API for object storage.
-
Resilient cloud
Unexpected outages can lead to significant revenue loss and reputational damage. Kubernetes Everywhere provides seamless Kubernetes workload replication across cloud environments to enhance edge resilience and optimise customer uptime.
