Kubernetes
Production-Grade Container Orchestration Platform
Kubernetes on Ubuntu 24.04 provides a production-grade container orchestration platform designed to automate deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. This offering deploys Kubernetes on Ubuntu 24.04 on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud, with Maintenance Support by ATH. The solution delivers a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster environment optimized for cloud-native workloads, enabling organizations to run microservices, manage containers at scale, and implement resilient, highly available application architectures.
Platform Overview
The platform includes a fully configured Kubernetes environment running on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
- Preinstalled Kubernetes control plane and worker node components
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base OS for long-term stability and security updates
- Container runtime (containerd) configured for secure operations
- kubeadm-based cluster initialization and management
- kubectl CLI tools for cluster administration
- VM-based deployment model for AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud
- Integration-ready with cloud load balancers and storage services
This deployment supports microservices architectures, container orchestration, and cloud-native application platforms.
Core Technical Capabilities
Kubernetes enables orchestration and lifecycle management of containerized workloads.
- Automated container deployment, scaling, and self-healing
- Pod scheduling and resource management across cluster nodes
- Service discovery and internal load balancing
- Rolling updates and zero-downtime deployments
- ConfigMaps and Secrets management for application configuration
- Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA) for dynamic scaling
- Namespace-based multi-tenant resource isolation
- Persistent volume and storage orchestration
- Network policy enforcement for service segmentation
Kubernetes provides resilient and scalable container orchestration for modern applications.
Deployment and Architecture
The deployment follows a cloud VM architecture optimized for container orchestration.
- Multi-node Kubernetes cluster deployment on Ubuntu 24.04
- Dedicated control plane and worker node architecture
- Secure API server with TLS encryption
- Container networking interface (CNI) plugin for pod networking
- Integration with cloud load balancers for external access
- Support for ingress controllers for HTTP/HTTPS routing
- Compatible with container registries and image repositories
- Suitable for development, staging, and production environments
- Full OS-level administrative access for customization
The architecture enables scalable orchestration across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
Scalability and Performance
Kubernetes is designed for highly scalable and resilient application delivery.
