KUBERNETES
Kubernetes with Cycloid
Accelerate your Kubernetes adoption, without the complexity and fragmented DevOps practices. With Cycloid, you’ll be working faster than you can say “deploy a Kubernetes cluster to AWS.”
What are the challenges?
DevOps values still aren’t the default values of your org
Kubernetes is the go-to solution for container orchestration. However, it can increase developer’s cognitive load, distract them from delivering core business value, and create fragmentation through inconsistent provisioning – leading to maintainability headaches, increased security vulnerabilities, and configuration drift. Unmanaged Kubernetes environments can result in shadow IT practices, leading to uncontrolled cloud spending, performance degradation, and limited observability. This undermines the potential Kubernetes promises.
High cognitive load on developers
Managing Kubernetes technologies like Helm and ArgoCD can distract developers from core tasks.
Inconsistent Kubernetes cluster provisioning and deployments
Different scripts and fragmented tooling cause configuration drift, maintenance headaches, and security vulnerabilities.
Shadow IT and lack of governance
Uncontrolled Kubernetes deployments can spiral into unmanageable cloud consumption, performance degradation, and poor observability.
High-performing, Kubernetes-driven (cloud-native) teams are more likely to deploy multiple times per day and maintain high levels of deployment automation, all key markers of faster, more dependable software delivery.
Why Cycloid for Kubernetes?
Cycloid’s platform offers flexibility, complementing and integrating seamlessly with GitOps deployment tools such as ArgoCD, Flux, Helm charts, Crossplane, and native Kubernetes manifests.
Cycloid offers you standardized, self-service Kubernetes deployments to accelerate your DevOps adoption and reduce operational complexity, so you can ensure developers focus on delivering business value instead of managing infrastructure.
Self-service Kubernetes via Service Catalog
Empower developers with self-service, predefined Kubernetes blueprints so they can deploy environments without specialized Kubernetes skills, lowering cognitive load and operational overhead.
Security and compliance built-in
Ensure all deployments comply with organizational security guidelines and best practices, preventing costly and risky misconfigurations. Standardized blueprints and built-in guardrails ensure compliance with security best practices, reducing risks – and cloud sprawl.
Reliable GitOps-based automation
Speed up your Kubernetes deployments using repeatable GitOps-based automation, ensuring consistent deployments, reducing human error, and providing real-time observability of configurations throughout their lifecycle.
