Customer Success Story

From Compliance to Innovation: How Charité Uses Kubermatic to Transform IT

Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin automated multi-cluster Kubernetes operations with the Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform (KKP), standardizing cluster lifecycle management and policy enforcement across environments while maintaining strict healthcare compliance. At CDS25, Harald Wagener, Group Leader for Cloud and IT Infrastructure at the Berlin Institute for Health Research at Charité, shared how the transformation took shape.

The Challenge

Manual Multi-Cluster Operations Under Strict Healthcare Compliance

As one of Europe’s largest university hospitals, Charité runs Kubernetes across many clusters spanning development to production. Managing that manually created operational overhead for platform teams and made it harder to enforce consistent governance and policy — all while operating under strict healthcare regulatory requirements.

The Solution

Standardized Cluster Lifecycle Management with KKP

Charité adopted the Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform (KKP) to automate multi-cluster operations. KKP standardizes cluster lifecycle management and enforces policy at scale, so platform teams manage governance centrally instead of per-cluster.

The Results

Less Manual Overhead, Consistent Governance, Faster Innovation

Reduced manual workload for platform teams managing clusters from development to production
Consistent governance and policy enforcement across all environments
Compliance maintained with strict healthcare regulations without slowing delivery
Developers spend more time on innovation, supported by open-source collaboration

Kubermatic not only helped us with the implementation of the authentication system but also with very specific requirements...
