Kubernetes Platform as a Service in the public cloud

De Novo's Kubernetes as a Service (KaaS) is a modern platform for orchestrating industrial-grade Kubernetes clusters in the public cloud.

The basis of KaaS is the technological stack of VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) and Cloud Director Container Services Extension, which allows you to manage the full life cycle of K8s clusters directly from the graphical interface of the cloud operational portal of the Cloud Director or through the vCD API (using, for example, terraform). KaaS seamlessly coexists and integrates with "conventional" (IaaS) virtual data centers in Cloud Director.

The functionality and usability of KaaS is similar to "managed Kubernetes" class services from hyperscalers (AWS Elastic Kubernetes Services, Google Kubernetes Engine, MS Azure Kubernetes Services).

When KaaS is a good solution

You are planning a transformation

from architecture, which you had to Cloud Native and there is a need for a reliable platform that will ensure the functioning of business applications with both types of architecture at the same time.

You use Kubernetes from Google/AWS/Azure,

but you are not satisfied with the price and/or the level of predictability of costs: unpredictable cost of Internet traffic, disk operations, etc.

We created the Kubernetes infrastructure

with an open-source component, but are not satisfied with its stability, performance and labor costs to maintain relevance, as well as the lack of commercial technical support.

You want to reduce unproductive workload

on DevOps and requirements for their skill level in the "uninteresting" layers of the technology stack: physical equipment, hypervisor, virtualization, etc.

You want to reduce unproductive workload

on DevOps and requirements for their skill level in the "uninteresting" layers of the technology stack: physical equipment, hypervisor, virtualization, etc. Strive to minimize unnecessary expenses related to planning errors and/or the need to maintain a reserve of resources in case of sudden or periodic increases in needs.

Key values of KaaS

A distribution of unmodified Kubernetes (no proprietary, no vendor lock), prepared, verified, signed and kept up to date by VMware. Tanzu Kubernetes Grid is certified for interoperability by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). The procedure for updating K8s clusters is fully automated and is performed without stopping services (rolling upgrade).

Deep and core integration with the basic IaaS infrastructure. This allows you to consume its resources (auth, computing, storage, network) as efficiently as possible (without unnecessary software layers) and standard (CSI, CNI, CPI, GPU-operator) means without the need to know the details of its construction.

Commercial "production grade support" for the entire technology stack - from hardware and hypervisor to Kubernetes and related open software from De Novo and VMware. De Novo is a member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) association and, as proof of its high level of expertise in Kubernetes technologies, is a Kubernetes Certified Service Provider.
