Challenges of Kubernetes Cluster Management in Public Clouds

Complexity of Multi-Cloud Operations

Each cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) has its own set of tools and interfaces for Kubernetes management, leading to increased operational complexity.

Manual and Time-Consuming Updates

Regularly updating Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) and other components across clusters often requires significant manual effort, increasing the risk of errors and downtime.

Decentralized Provisioning Without Guardrails

SREs, developers, and other teams often provision clusters independently. Without centralized templates and policies, this leads to inconsistent configurations and operational risk.

Simplify Kubernetes Management Today

Why Choose Rafay for Kubernetes Cluster Lifecycle Management?

Centralized Multi-Cloud Management

Unified Control Plane:
Manage Kubernetes clusters across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI from a single interface, reducing complexity and improving operational efficiency. Consistent Policies:
Enforce uniform security, governance, and operational policies across all clusters, ensuring compliance and reducing the risk of configuration drift.

Automated Updates and Patching

Multi-Layer Upgrade Automation:
Automate updates across three key layers: Kubernetes versions (least frequent, most disruptive), Node OS images/AMIs (moderate frequency), Add-ons and in-cluster services (most frequent) Minimal Downtime with Automation:
Automated workflows minimize disruptions during updates, helping maintain high availability and streamline operations across environments.

Standardized Cluster Provisioning

Templates for Cluster Creation & Upgrades:
Use centrally defined templates for provisioning and updates to ensure consistency across teams and environments, and to reduce manual errors. Flexible Interfaces:
Support UI, GitOps, API, and Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Terraform to align with your team’s preferred workflows.

Role-Based Provisioning for Platform Teams

Governed Access for SREs and Developers:
Empower SREs and developers with governed provisioning access using predefined templates and policy guardrails. Portal & Workflow Integration:
Integrate seamlessly with identity providers (IDPs), internal developer portals (e.g., Backstage), and ITSM systems like ServiceNow for streamlined cluster requests and provisioning workflows.
