I am a woman, a wife, a mother, and a successful professional among many things and I have a story to tell about my journey to motherhood during a global pandemic.

April is always a special month for my co-founder Julian and me. Because it’s Kubermatic’s birthday month. Our baby turned 6 this year and admittedly, we sometimes still can’t quite believe it: Our gut feeling that Kubernetes could be a big thing actually became true.

Kubernetes clusters are becoming an integral part of how businesses operate. As organizations continue to grow, it becomes increasingly important to have a scalable IT infrastructure that can keep up. Multi-cluster deployments are one way to overcome this challenge.

Kubernetes is a cloud-native open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It is often employed to automate applications used for running businesses or as a system to manage application products.

It’s been a while since we last updated you on everything that’s happening at and around Kubermatic…

Quick network response times have become the standard.

33 milliseconds - The amount of time needed for a piece of information to travel from Spain to the U.S. and back via the Marea undersea cable.

It is with great excitement that we announce the latest release of Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform (KKP). With KKP 2.20, we aimed to make KKP more robust by improving naming conventions and further strengthening code quality.

Kubernetes is all about sharing machines between applications. Typically, sharing machines requires ensuring that two applications don’t try to use the same ports. Managing port allocation across multiple developers is difficult at scale, and exposes users to cluster-level issues they can’t control.

Today, we are excited to announce a strategic partnership with SVA Software, Inc. — the US-based subsidiary of SVA System Vertrieb Alexander GmbH; Germany’s largest privately owned systems integrator in the fields of Datacenter Infrastructure and largest IBM business partner in Europe.

Ever since it became more than an atmospheric mass of condensed water vapor, cloud has provided apps the ability to automatically scale with it and significantly impact its use. Cloud enables teams to operate applications without having to constantly and manually modify the underlying resources to fit the actual demand.

To those familiar with containers and Kubernetes, the superiority of these cloud native technologies lie at hand. To all others, the concepts are often too abstract and hard to understand.

With Kubernetes becoming an ubiquitous platform for running software at scale, an obvious but sometimes overlooked topic is security. Over the past years, several guidelines to secure Kubernetes clusters have been released.
