On-premise Kubernetes: simplicity, security and flexibility

THE must have solution when you need a managed Kubernetes with the level of security and simplicity of a Cloud Provider on your own infrastructure! It’s the best alternative to maintain control of your data while benefiting from the power and flexibility of Kubernetes.

The Kubernetes ecosystem is so rich, there are hundreds solutions to deploy a Cluster, finding the right service tailored to one’s specific needs can be challenging and may raise concerns about making the wrong decision for developers.

Our dedicated team of Kubernetes experts has carefully curated a selection of tools that align with hardware specifications: 

We’ve opted for K3S as our Kubernetes orchestrator due to its simplicity, lightweight nature, and high availability mode. With K3S, Kubernetes updates are swift and seamless, ensuring minimal downtime.

MetalLB has been chosen for its support of BGP routing and compatibility with our internal core network. This ensures that your Kubernetes environment is directly connected to the world in the most efficient manner possible. 

For this solution, we leverage our more than 20 years of experience in  

Additionally, our solution includes  auto-provisioning of Persistent Volumes on Netapp (courtesy of Trident ) or Ceph clusters, simplifying the developer journey significantly.

DevOps-Engineered, Developer-Approved Kubernetes Delight

Kube by IG1 has been designed by DevOps for developers. It comes with an comprehensive set of features to make kubernetes journey a pleasure for Developers.

Autonomy and Security

Developers can independently manage their applications from their workstations using the Kubernetes command-line tool (kubectl). Remote commands are all secured through RBAC access control accessible via SSO and encrypted with TLS certificates. This allows them to operate within a precise and secure framework.

Managed CI/CD

For an optimal developer experience (DX), Kube by IG1 includes managed CI/CD to simplify code updates. This integration makes it very easy to test and deploy code updates across all development environments available on the Kubernetes cluster. Thanks to managed CI/CD, developers save valuable time and streamline their workload. They can focus on their core business, developing new features, without worrying about infrastructure management or application deployment.

To enhance Developer eXperience (DX), Kube by IG1 includes managed CI/CD

Gitlab CI: We deploy and maintain Gitlab CI within your cluster, enabling you to host your code and execute CI processes on your dedicated runners, all under our supervision.

Argo CD: We deploy and maintain Gitlab CI within your cluster, enabling you to host your code and execute CI processes on your dedicated runners, all under our supervision.

Our Managed CI/CD utilizes internal Forge and runners and can seamlessly integrate with any external Forge of your preference. 

With managed CI/CD, developers save precious time and streamline their tasks, allowing them to concentrate on their core business of developing new features without the burden of infrastructure management or application deployment.

Automatically deployed

With Kalamar, our Managed CI built upon Terraform and Ansible, Kube by IG1 is swiftly deployed and configured on your dedicated infrastructure within minutes! Our SREs simply need to code a few YAML lines tailored to your specific configuration to initiate and manage cluster deployment and updates. This streamlined process simplifies deployment, maintenance, and significantly mitigates the risk of incidents.

Highly secure

Compliance


Kube by IG1 is a secure, GPDR-certified, and ISO 27001-certified managed Kubernetes solution. It is built on infrastructure management best practices and advanced security features to offer you the safest solution possible.


High Availability

Furthermore, all our clusters are deployed with high availability and come with SLAs of up to 99.95%. All of these features have one singular goal: ensuring maximum availability for your applications.

Regular Updates

Kubernetes evolves rapidly, with a new version released every 3 months! We guarantee regular updates to the cluster to ensure that it remains continuously up to date in terms of service and security level.

Smart Observability

Streamlined Monitoring

Our observability suite offers a robust set of tools for tracking application performance and resolving issues efficiently. Central to our offering is aunified interface that displays all platform metrics and logs, from hardware components to Kubernetes containers , facilitating swift troubleshooting by integrating logs and metrics on the same dashboard. Our service captures metrics with unprecedented granularity, recording one metric every 15 seconds consistently, ensuring you receive the most precise data available.

Proactive Platform Resilience 


Furthermore, our platform is engineered to prevent data loss even during portal downtimes and includes a predictive algorithm to preempt potential incidents. This proactive approach is supplemented by real-time alert notifications via Slack, keeping teams responsive and well-informed.


Data Mastery
