Clusters

Kubernetes clusters are widely used in the cloud industry to deploy and manage containerized applications. This removes the need for customers to manage the underlying infrastructure, allowing them to focus on building and deploying their applications.

Cluster Creation: Customers can create clusters with just a few clicks through the Nirvana Cloud Dashboard or API. This streamlined process reduces the complexity and time associated with setting up Kubernetes clusters.

Configuration Options: When creating a cluster, customers have the flexibility to choose various settings to match their specific requirements:

• Region Selection: Customers can select the geographic region where the cluster will be deployed, ensuring proximity to their workloads and compliance with regional regulations.
• Worker Node Pool Configuration: Customers can define the configuration for worker node pools, including the amount of CPU, RAM, and storage of the worker nodes.
• Number of Worker Nodes: Customers can specify the initial number of worker nodes in each pool, allowing them to start with the resources they need and scale up or down as required.
• Kubernetes Version: Customers can select the desired Kubernetes version, ensuring compatibility with their applications and taking advantage of the latest features and security updates.
• Additional Settings: Other settings such as network policies, storage options, and access controls can be configured to meet the specific needs of the applications and organizational policies.

Scalability: NKS allows customers to easily scale their clusters by adding or removing worker nodes or entire node pools based on their resource requirements. This dynamic scaling ensures that the cluster can handle varying workloads efficiently without over-provisioning resources.

Managed Operations: The Nirvana Team handles the underlying operations and maintenance of the controller nodes which are the brains of the cluster. This fully managed approach ensures that the clusters are always running optimally and securely, with minimal intervention from the customer.

Deployment Ease: Deploying applications on NKS clusters is straightforward. Customers can use Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, or other deployment tools to manage their applications. NKS integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated deployments and updates.

By leveraging NKS for their Kubernetes clusters, customers can achieve a high degree of operational efficiency, scalability, and reliability, allowing them to focus on innovation and delivering value to their users.
