The Challenge
Building a hardened security baseline for containerized applications based on Kubernetes
Vonage faced a significant challenge in Kubernetes management, particularly in establishing a hardened security baseline for containerized applications across diverse Kubernetes environments. The absence of a consistent security framework led to inefficient Kubernetes management at scale, causing delays and hindering rapid progress due to the need for continual relearning and reworking of Kubernetes implementation processes.
The Solution
Kubernetes Management Simplified with KKP
To overcome these challenges, Vonage turned to the Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform (KKP) for streamlined Kubernetes management. Built on Kubernetes, KKP provided the necessary extensibility and ease of cluster management through its operator functionality and Cluster API. This solution enabled seamless scaling and upgrades across Kubernetes environments with minimal effort. Additionally, the supportive KKP community played a crucial role in enhancing Vonage’s Kubernetes management practices, reducing the operational burden and simplifying maintenance.
The Impact
Scalable Kubernetes Management Across Multiple Clouds
Today, Vonage has successfully implemented a fully functional fleet management solution across multiple clouds, powered by KKP. This robust Kubernetes management solution has been further enhanced with custom extensions that support additional platform engineering tasks. Vonage is now expanding its product offerings, including a unified database and cross-cluster solutions, all built on KKP’s Kubernetes management capabilities. These advancements ensure continuous improvement, allowing Vonage to integrate advanced features and maintain efficient Kubernetes management at scale.
