Managed Kubernetes
IONOS, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, the Google Cloud Platform and other cloud providers offer Kubernetes-as-a-Service. However, their aims and approaches sometimes vary considerably. The quality of service and the platform's stability, performance, and active participation within the cloud-native community are all distinguishing factors.
IONOS focuses on managed services that simplify the use of software containers and Kubernetes as an orchestration tool. The IONOS Enterprise Cloud prides itself in particular on its proximity to the end-user. The user's feedback is continuously incorporated into Managed Kubernetes' further development.
A central component of Managed Kubernetes is visual cluster and node pool management. On the one hand, Managed Kubernetes can be managed conveniently via the Kubernetes API, but it is also firmly integrated into IONOS Enterprise Cloud's Data Centre Designer (DCD). DCD enables you to create Kubernetes clusters and node pools, or delete them directly from the IONOS Enterprise Cloud graphical user interface. The master node remains geographically redundant, while the customer decides where to set up their node pools.
The DCD integration perfectly rounds off Kubernetes' possible applications in the IONOS Enterprise Cloud environment. It enables a quick overview of the existing Managed Kubernetes clusters at any time – both graphically in the DCD and via a large number of API calls.
Exciting new functions are constantly being introduced. In the future, users will be able to…
- select versions of Kubernetes directly in the Data Centre Designer (DCD) and make them available for clusters
- use an upgrade button to install the latest version of Kubernetes
- set a preferred time window for patch version updates (exception: urgent security updates cannot be delayed)
- carry out all the above settings either by cluster or by node pool
- replace non-functioning nodes via Auto Repair
IONOS offers Managed Kubernetes as a free service. You only pay for computing and storage resources that the Kubernetes nodes need for containers. Thanks to the transparent pricing structure of IONOS Enterprise Cloud, there are only four price points:
- Computing: cores from £0.02 per hour
- RAM: £0.0045 per GB per hour
- Block Storage: from £0.04 per GB per 30 days (choose from HDD or SSD)
- Traffic: from £0.03 per GB outgoing data transfer
Kubernetes is a great tool. IONOS makes it much simpler to use by taking on time-consuming processes such as updates.
Managed Kubernetes from IONOS offers you…
- stable and reliable container management
- more flexibility and agility for faster feature roll-outs, services and fixes
- easy scalability and adjustments in real-time
- resources conservation, since less specialised personnel is required
- more efficiency and less effort because there are no proprietary, labour-intensive add-ons
- a constant feedback process, making Kubernetes even more useful for you
- Kubernetes clusters, which can be created either via API or set up with our graphical Data Centre Designer (DCD) and clearly displayed
- self-repairing nodes and extensive API calls for a comprehensive overview
