STACKIT Kubernetes Engine (SKE) is a robust, scalable and managed Kubernetes service. SKE delivers CNCF-compliant Kubernetes clusters and makes it easy to deploy standard Kubernetes applications and containerized workloads. Customized Kubernetes clusters can be easily created as self-service via the STACKIT Cloud Portal.
Use Cases
Migrate existing applications to the cloud
Quickly and easily containerize existing applications and run them on SKE in the European cloud without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure.
Operate cloud-native applications
Create new cloud-native applications in the style of microservices and the Kubernetes ecosystem for service meshes, serverless applications, CI/CD pipelines and others.
Deploy stateful applications
Manage stateful applications on SKE clusters thanks to persistent block storage.
Functions
Kubernetes clusters are created quickly and easily using the self-service user interface in the STACKIT Cloud Portal.
The control plan of the clusters is managed and highly available.
Auto-updates of Kubernetes and operating system versions keep clusters up to date.
Automatic repair functions detect and repair problems on the cluster.
Event-driven pod and node autoscaling elastically adjust clusters based on workload.
Clusters can be switched off temporarily if the application should only be accessible at certain times of the day.
Advantages
- SKE provides vanilla Kubernetes clusters and offers you the advantages of a container-based management environment.
- Automatic repairs and updates significantly reduce your operational effort.
- You save costs significantly by switching off non-productive clusters, as you only pay for what you actually use (pay-per-use).
