Overview

Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. The Cloud Management Portal provides a powerful and user-friendly interface to manage Kubernetes clusters, allowing users to deploy, monitor, and maintain containerized workloads efficiently.

What is Kubernetes?​

Kubernetes is designed to simplify the complexities of managing large-scale containerized environments. It abstracts the underlying infrastructure and provides a consistent platform to run applications across different environments—whether on-premise or in the cloud.

Key benefits include:

  • Automated Deployment
    Automatically roll out application updates and roll back changes with zero downtime.

  • Self-Healing
    Kubernetes monitors the health of containers and restarts or replaces them when failures occur.

  • Horizontal Scaling
    Scale applications up or down based on demand using simple commands or auto-scaling policies.

  • Service Discovery & Load Balancing
    Automatically exposes containers using DNS and balances network traffic across them.

  • Secret & Configuration Management
    Manage sensitive data and application configuration without rebuilding your container images.

Kubernetes in the Cloud Management Portal​

The Cloud Management Portal offers full lifecycle support for Kubernetes clusters, simplifying cluster operations for both development and production environments.

Key Features​

  • Cluster Creation
    Create and configure Kubernetes clusters using predefined templates or advanced setup options.

  • Node Management
    Add or remove worker nodes to meet scaling requirements. Monitor node health and resource usage.

  • Namespace & Resource Control
    Organize workloads using Kubernetes namespaces and apply resource quotas for better governance.

  • Dashboard Integration
    Access Kubernetes Dashboard and CLI tools directly from the portal for in-depth control and visibility.

  • Storage & Volume Support
    Attach persistent volumes and manage dynamic storage provisioning for stateful workloads.
