This means that users of our infrastructure can now benefit from a fully managed and secure Kubernetes environment, where platform operation, security, support, and rolling updates are included as part of the service.

KPaaS offers a convenient, pre-packaged solution that allows you to easily deploy and manage your applications on Elastx's secure and reliable infrastructure. This can be particularly useful for organizations with strict security and compliance requirements.

Tell me more!Kubernetes: Brilliant, but not inherently safe
Kubernetes is an excellent tool for deploying and managing software in the cloud, providing automation and ease of use for developers. However, its focus on automation and portability has unfortunately resulted in a lack of emphasis on security and operational aspects, leading to a high incidence of security incidents. In fact, 92% of companies using Kubernetes on their own have experienced an incident in the past year, with 59% of these incidents being caused by misconfigurations.
KPaaS offers a solution to this problem by providing a secure, reliable platform for developing and operating applications on Kubernetes. With Elastx's state-of-the-art infrastructure and expertise in managing Kubernetes, businesses can focus on their core competencies without worrying about the complexities of operating the platform. This allows for the full benefits of Kubernetes to be realized without sacrificing security or reliability.
Since 2018, Elastisys has provided security hardened Kubernetes solutions, including the Compliant Kubernetes distribution. This makes it an ideal choice for businesses with strict security requirements, such as those in regulated industries like medtech and fintech. KPaaS is a fully managed platform service that is well-suited for companies that need to meet high security standards in order to do business with the public sector.
