Certified Kubernetes: centron Managed Kubernetes
Managed Kubernetes by centron has passed the CNCF Conformance Program. Kubernetes versions 1.35, 1.36 and 1.37 are certi…
Container workloads have long been in productive use at many companies. Kubernetes becomes particularly interesting when several services run in parallel, load peaks need to be absorbed or deployments are to be automated. The effort involved, however, lies less in the nodes than in day-to-day operations: the control plane, etcd, updates, backups and security policies need ongoing maintenance. For many mid-sized companies without their own platform team, this is hardly something that can be done on the side.
With Managed Kubernetes, centron takes over this part. The standard control plane is included in the price, and a highly available control plane can be booked as an option. Monitoring and logging are active from the start, and centron carries out Kubernetes upgrades in the maintenance window on request. Every cluster runs in its own isolated network, and cluster backups are not deleted automatically. Nodes are available from €19.02 per month, billed by the hour according to actual runtime.
Who is Managed Kubernetes suitable for?
The service is aimed at companies that run container workloads in production but do not have a dedicated Kubernetes team in-house. The offer can also be relevant where data storage in Germany matters, for example because of regulatory requirements: the data centre and cloud platform are certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz and hold a BSI C5:2020 Type 1 attestation.
What centron takes care of and what it does not
Important for planning: centron looks after the Kubernetes platform. The applications running on it, their configuration and deployments remain the customer's responsibility.
