2025: Optimizing for Extreme Loads

VK Tech on December 3, 2025 introduced the Cloud Containers generation - the Kubernetes platform VK Cloud for deploying next-generation AI applications. It will ensure the continuous operation of the AI infrastructure under extreme loads, including the scaling of LLM services. Cloud Containers will enable you to create IT systems that work with tens of thousands of users and millions of transactions without losing performance and availability.

The added capabilities of the service can reduce operating costs, speed up the launch of AI products on the market and ensure the smooth operation of high-load projects. The solution has high performance and the ability to simultaneously process up to 55,000 microservices.

Key updates allow you to accelerate development and create systems that withstand extreme loads. Cloud Containers automates the process of self-recovery of the Kubernetes cluster, implements the technology Nested Kubernetes, when one Kubernetes cluster starts inside another, and the ability to carry out parallel operations with the cluster. This is especially true for organizations with large projects and an intensive development cycle.

The function of automatic self-recovery of cluster components returns it to an operational state without the intervention of DevOps engineers. This minimizes application downtime risks and reallocates team resources from routine monitoring to strategic tasks. Parallel operation technology eliminates "idle windows," giving developers the opportunity to reduce time-to-market for new functionality and products. This is due to simultaneous configuration, scaling and updating of the cluster.

Our customers are increasingly using Cloud Containers for the full cycle of AI: from training models to launching them, and the system itself monitors stability. The Cloud Containers update significantly improves the reliability of the service. The allocation of cluster resources between three availability zones in the region and our own software-defined SDN Sprut network ensures uninterrupted operation of applications, automatically protecting them from failures in a separate data center. As a result, user companies receive fault tolerance and enterprise-level security, "said Dmitry Lazarenko, head of cloud and data services at VK Tech.
