What is the significance of the platform being labeled "Certified Kubernetes"?
To become certified, the platform is tested for its ability to provide customers with benefits related to the categories: consistent experience, timely updates and adaptability. As part of its Certified Kubernetes Conformance program, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) defines the technical requirements necessary to ensure these benefits can be achieved. Meeting the requirements confirms that customers using the Proact Managed Container Platform can be assured of a seamless user experience as they move between Kubernetes installations.
The environment is designed and kept up-to-date by Conoa’s experienced team of Kubernetes specialists.
Will we be locked into the platform?
No, you won’t. We offer a Certified Kubernetes deployment, which means it’s easy to get started with our platform, and just as easy to leave if we don’t live up to expectations.
The platform is based on 100% open-source tools.
What is a dedicated Kubernetes container platform?
Your company gets its own dedicated Kubernetes platform with dedicated logging, reporting, alerting and monitoring. Your development teams can develop applications without the need for a separate operations team to manage, patch, update and secure the underlying container stack and its layers of complexity.
We have requirements for dedicated hardware. Will we still be able to use the platform?
Yes, it is. With the Proact Managed Container Platform, you have dedicated hardware, so you can fully utilise your resources. Without any “noisy neighbor” challenges, you can be sure that your environment and applications will run predictably and efficiently.
Will we need to hire staff to operate the platform?
We become your operations team for the container platform, removing the need for you to hire or contract Kubernetes specialists.
Can you help with development?
No. However, we offer training for application developers who need to increase their understanding of microservices or deepen their knowledge of containers and Kubernetes.
What is your pricing model?
We work with a fixed cost. This means easier planning and allocation of your IT budget and no invoice shock.
What is the minimum service included?
Our basic service includes:
- 1 test cluster with 3 worker nodes, each with 4 vCPUs and 15 GB RAM
- 1 production cluster with 3 worker nodes, each with 4 vCPUs and 15 GB RAM
From there, you can add additional clusters or scale by increasing the number of worker nodes and/or upgrading to larger nodes as needed.
