The Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform automates operations of thousands of Kubernetes clusters across multicloud, on-prem, and edge environments to empower your team to reliably run Kubernetes in production.
The Kubernetes Platform Accelerator helps you to implement state-of-the-art Kubernetes operations with a best-in-class architecture. Our experienced architects will provide you with strategic and operational guidance at all stages of the process to avoid common pitfalls and ensure a successful and smooth implementation.
The Kubernetes Platform Accelerator covers five engagement phases:
Explore -> Deploy -> Enablement -> Testing -> Touchdown
1. Explore
Our architects engage with your team to review your use case and align your requirements and current stack with the technical deployment of Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform.
Typical Activities
- Kickoff workshop
- Architecture review and assessment of project setup and timeline
Deliverables
- List of requirements (overall & PoC)
- Documentation of PoC scope and procedure of implementation (incl. timeline)
2. Deploy
During an on-site engagement, our architects make sure that Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform is successfully deployed.
Typical Activities
- Installation of Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform and other required services
- Identification of potential training needs and where necessary, delivery of customized training programs (not included)
Deliverables
- Setup Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform
- Documentation and configuration of the setup
3. Enablement
In the enablement phase, our architects will handover the Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform installation to your team.
Typical Activities
- Workshops on operational tasks reflecting your requirements i.a. regarding availability, manageability, performance, storage, and networking
- As needed, delivery of training programs (not included)
Deliverables
- Define cluster configuration & deploy cluster based on defined configuration
- Concept papers for long-term vision
4. Testing
Our architects work closely with your team to ensure that Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform is effectively operated.
Typical Activities
- Execution of comprehensive testing based on PoC requirements against a test plan, including functional testing, production-readiness testing and load and usability testing
- Review of logging, metrics and capacity utilization and evaluation of operations best practice for your use case
Deliverables
- List of tests to be performed based on PoC requirements
- Documentation of test results of application deployment and operation
5. Touchdown
Our architects will present the result of setup and engage with your team to identify next steps.
Typical Activities
- Touchdown workshop with presentation of results and outlook
- Identification of next steps
Deliverables
- Presentation of results
- List of prerequisites for production Go-live
