The Dr. Marc Rutschmann AG is using Managed Kubernetes for creating and managing customer web pages.
Virtual clusters running inside regular namespaces solve the Kubernetes multi-tenancy issue and cut costs at the same time. Our vClusters start at CHF 34.– per month (in combination with an NKE node). A complete price list with additional options can be found in the Price Calculator and for more technical details, please check our Documentation.
Virtual clusters have their own API server, which makes them much more powerful and better isolated than namespaces. They are also much cheaper than separately created, 'real' Kubernetes clusters. We also offer container technology as a service: your managed Kubernetes cluster includes a fully managed software stack, giving you everything you need to run your applications in production.
Much better isolated than namespaces
Cheaper than separate, 'real' Kubernetes clusters
More powerful thanks to its own API server
vCluster offer a unique developer experience for anyone developing against Kubernetes as a deployment target
When scalability limits of k8s are reached due to large multi-tenant clusters, clusters can be split into vClusters and effectively shared
New ingress controller tests can be virtually simulated without affecting cluster operation
Starting at CHF 34.– per month (vCluster & nine-standard-1 Worker Node) and in combination with an NKE node, your vCluster is more powerful and better isolated than namespaces and cheaper than 'real' Kubernetes clusters
Virtual clusters are executed within the namespaces of other clusters. They have a separate API server and a separate data store so that every Kubernetes object created in the vCluster only exists within this vCluster. You can isolate workloads on bare metal Kubernetes, you don't need any VMs and you won't get Ops headaches or suffer from high costs anymore. Virtual clusters launch in seconds, offer better isolation for CPU and GPU workloads, and scale effortlessly. Virtual clusters allow you to create multiple isolated environments within a single cluster, minimizing the need to set up a separate cluster for each team, environment, or customer.
