Why Kubernetes?

The Future of Application Deployment

Kubernetes is the leading open-source platform for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It enables organizations to optimize their infrastructure and respond more agilely to market demands. ventx provides Kubernetes consulting, support and managed Kubernetes from Munich, Germany, for customers across the DACH region.

However, the complexity of Kubernetes demands specialized knowledge. ventx helps you successfully implement and operate this powerful technology.

Managed Kubernetes from Munich

Operations, upgrades and security of your clusters – our responsibility

With managed Kubernetes, ventx takes over the day-to-day operation of your Kubernetes clusters – on AWS (EKS), Microsoft Azure (AKS), Google Cloud (GKE), STACKIT SKE or in your own data centre. Our team in Munich monitors your clusters within the agreed service window, responds to incidents and keeps the control plane, worker nodes and add-ons up to date. The scope is defined together in a service level agreement that matches your requirements for availability, response times and support hours – terms on request.

Kubernetes upgrades are planned and tested in advance, rolled out in a controlled manner and documented, so your applications keep running on supported versions without surprises. Security hardening covers role and permission concepts (RBAC), network policies, pod security standards, image scanning in the CI/CD pipeline and regular reviews of the cluster configuration against common benchmarks – implemented by CKA, CKAD and CKS certified engineers.

We also keep an eye on cost: we size node pools appropriately, set up autoscaling and regularly review the resource consumption of your workloads, so you only pay for the capacity you actually need. You receive transparent reports on availability, incidents and changes and remain in full control of your environment at all times. We offer managed Kubernetes to customers across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
