2021: Start of Kubernetes-as-a-Service
Cloudy provider CorpSoft24 December 20, 2021 announced the launch of the service for the provision of ready-made clusters based on Kubernetes - Kubernetes-as-a-Service. The service will allow customers to CorpSoft24 use all the capabilities server of clusters in without cloud having special knowledge.
Kubernetes is open source software for orchestrating container applications, that is, for creating clusters from several servers in cloud environments. The popularity of Kubernetes is ensured not only by an open architecture, but also by the fact that the platform supports all the main container technologies, including container, pri-o and others.
According to Mikhail Sergeyev, the leading engineer of CorpSoft24, clusters based on Kubernetes are characterized by increased fault tolerance, reliability and are in demand in a business where any simple IT application is critical.
"Even if part of the cluster fails for some reason, the remaining one will take over the computing load of the applications. In addition, clusters are used to safely upgrade applications without business downtime. Demand for Kubernetes is growing in the financial industry, telecom, retail and other market segments, "said Mikhail Sergeyev. |
To take advantage of all the capabilities of cluster solutions, company applications must be designed for a microservice architecture, and not represent a solid monolith, as is usually the case. Changes require temporary and financial resources.
"This is a major deterrent to cluster use. But there is also a second - a lack of qualified specialists in Kubernetes in the market. It is this barrier that allows you to overcome the Kubernetes-as-a-Service service, "explained Mikhail Sergeyev. |
As part of Kubernetes-as-a-Service, CorpSoft24 provides a pre-built server cluster for use in the cloud, which, as planned by the company, will open up access to the capabilities of cluster technologies for a wider business audience.
