Try Canonical Kubernetes to simplify your deployments, and focus on applications, not infrastructure. With Canonical Kubernetes, you get hassle-free installation and maintenance, and peace of mind for your containerized workloads.
“Kubernetes is both fast-moving and hard, so supporting it ourselves was not a viable option. To keep it supported and up to date, it's better to have experts who do this every day involved and manage it for us.”
Michael Hawkshaw Mission Operations Infrastructure IT Service Manager European Space Operations Centre
“We were looking for a Kubernetes distribution that is close to the upstream Kubernetes project and offers enterprise support. Canonical support is very qualified, effective and well structured.”
