Nebula Kubernetes Services Scale Your Growth and Control Your Budget by Deploying Your Containers on the Nebula Kubernetes Service.
Deploy Containers and Services in the Nebula Cloud for Ultimate Integration
The Data Park’s Nebula Kubernetes Services provide your company with an environment for Kubernetes deployments that is easier to launch, maintain, and monitor.
What is Kubernetes and How Can It Improve Your Business?
“Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that enables the operation of an elastic web server framework for cloud applications.” (VMWare.com)
Let us break this down and explain how Kubernetes can help your business.
- Kubernetes is open source. The underlying code is available for your business to adapt and modify as necessary, making it flexible enough to meet your needs.
- Kubernetes orchestrates containers. Containers are packages that contain a full runtime environment for an app. They are smaller than Virtual Machines and can be deployed faster.
- Kubernetes scales with your needs. Kubernetes allows you to orchestrate, or run, multiple containers to build up the services your website, dev team, or application needs.
Each container in your deployment can be modified individually so development and maintenance are simplified and expedited.
Kubernetes can improve your business by giving you the ability to split your software applications into containers and then deploy them together.
Each container, or multiple containers together, can operate an AI instance, run HPC and GPU workloads, or function as part of an app orchestra to deliver a specific outcome, such as the booking process for a major hotel website.
All this orchestration happens quickly and on-demand. The speed and flexibility mean K8s deployments can scale up and down very quickly, leading to efficient and maximum use of resources. Better resource usage leads to lower computing costs.
Why choose The Data Park as your Kubernetes partner?
- Easy to Launch – Our team of experts will work with your Ops team to deploy your containers to provision and deploy to a production-grade Kubernetes namespace in just minutes. You can choose to deploy to a Sole Tenant or Multi-Tenant environment.
- We Take Care of the Maintenance – Our Nebula team monitors your Kubernetes Control Plane and resource availability to ensure you are always able to access and deploy to your namespace. Autoscaling is possible because Nebula Kubernetes Services can adjust the number of pods in your cluster automatically to meet demand.
- Budget Control Made Simple – We’ll work with you to create a service agreement that meets your needs and gives you control over your budget. Once your service level agreement (SLA) is in place, you can monitor your budget and usage easily. We also offer a 99.8% uptime guarantee with our SLAs.
You can rely on The Data Park to reduce the two biggest problems of Kubernetes deployment management: cost and control. Our plans are easy to understand so your costs are managed clearly. Our managed maintenance and clear monitoring of your deployments will give you complete control over your services.
Key Benefits
- Full Kubernetes API
When you provision a NKS Kubernetes namespace, we provide an endpoint to use with the kubectl CLI or any Kubernetes ecosystem tool.
- Managed services
NKS continuously monitors your Kubernetes Control Plane to make sure you are always able to access and deploy to your namespace and cluster.
- Open API
Seamlessly integrates with your existing tooling and workflows. The NKS API makes it easy to create, update and manage your cluster.
- Guided configuration
We’ll walk you through the steps to easily connect to your namespace, deploy an application, and add additional resources like storage and load balancers.
- Autoscaling
Ensure fast performance and control costs by letting NKS Kubernetes automatically adjust the number of pods in your cluster.
- NKS Container Storage Interface
Create persistent volumes for Kubernetes. The Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver connects your Kubernetes cluster with TDP high-speed block, File, and object Storage services.
- Deploy Popular Apps Using Helm charts, Operators, and Controllers
Harness the strong open-source ecosystem of Kubernetes tooling. NKS supports integration with popular K8s-related tools, such as Kubeapps, Helm, Operators, and more.
- Support
Experienced Kubernetes support experts available 24/7, severity-based response time. We’ll always work with you to uncover the root cause of any issue.
Features
- Designed for developers and operators
Provision and deploy to production-grade Kubernetes namespaces in minutes.
- Productivity
Develop and iterate more rapidly with easy application deployment, release updates, and management of your apps and services.
- Resource efficiency
Kubernetes knows the compute, memory, and storage resources each application needs and schedules instances across the cluster to maximize resource efficiency.
- Streamline operations
Automate application deployments, monitoring, instance replication, cluster scheduling, and seamless application releases.
- High availability
Kubernetes routinely checks the health of your applications to detect and replace instances that are not responsive.
- Scalability
Use the Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler to add instances of your application services as needed to meet demand.
- Portability
Applications deployed to NKS Kubernetes can run anywhere Kubernetes is supported, making it easy to deploy across environments and clouds.
Over 68% of Companies Cannot Predict Their Kubernetes Spending
Spending on containers, and Kubernetes deployments, is still increasing, with over 67% of companies reporting an increase in costs of over 20%.
We understand another problem from the same survey:
Businesses struggle to accurately predict the cost of their Kubernetes (K8s) deployments.
24% of companies do not monitor their K8s spending at all, and a further 44% rely on monthly estimates instead of accurate projections or forecasts.
With costs increasing and budget oversight difficult, it is too easy for companies to throw money into the black hole of Kubernetes cost unpredictability.
How can your company manage a stable and growing Kubernetes deployment without facing runaway budget growth?
Costs and Observability Problems Can Hinder Kubernetes Deployments
While costs can grow out of control, understanding what is happening in a Kubernetes deployment is also a concern.
Observability, or the ability to monitor a Kubernetes deployment, is a common problem.
A survey from Statista showed just how often problems occur:
- 43.52% respondents felt setup and configuration of an observability service was a pain.
- 27.71% of IT professionals felt maintenance of observability was difficult.
- The same number, 27.1%, thought there were too many platforms used to manage their deployments.
- 25% of people responding felt the information they received about their deployments was not specific.
These statistics point to the pain many businesses experience with Kubernetes:
The container software is incredibly adaptable and useful, but deployments can become costly and unmanageable.
Nebula Kubernetes Services from The Data Park help alleviate these two problems by providing controlled costs and active monitoring of Kubernetes deployments.
Businesses that have deployed Kubernetes successfully include Adidas, Booking.com, and Spotify. They consistently report similar benefits:
- Faster development and deployment times
- Lower CPU and server loads
- Higher performance for websites and user portals
The Data Park can help you implement the Kubernetes system to give your organization the same performance increases these leading companies have experienced.
