Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q1. What is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source container orchestration platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
High-Level Kubernetes Architecture
- Control Plane: The brain of Kubernetes, consisting of components like API Server, etcd (distributed storage), Scheduler, and Controller Manager.
- Nodes: Worker machines that run the containerized applications, each containing a Kubelet (node agent), container runtime (like Docker), and kube-proxy for networking.
- Pods: The smallest deployable units in Kubernetes, consisting of one or more containers that share storage, network, and a specification on how to run.
-
Q2. What is Kubernetes used for?
Kubernetes is used to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Instead of managing each container manually, Kubernetes helps teams.
- Run applications reliably across environments.
- Scale up or down automatically based on demand.
- Ensure high availability and fault tolerance.
- Optimize infrastructure usage to reduce waste and cost.
-
Q3. Why do companies need Kubernetes management services?
Managing Kubernetes at scale is complex. Companies often struggle with configuration, resource optimization, cost tracking, and ongoing maintenance. Expert-led Kubernetes management helps streamline operations, reduce DevOps burden, and avoid performance or cost issues.
-
Q4. What is Kubernetes optimization, and how does it help?
Kubernetes optimization involves right-sizing workloads, fine-tuning autoscaling policies, improving observability, and controlling costs. It ensures your clusters are efficient, high-performing, and cost-effective, without sacrificing reliability.
-
Q5. Do you support both cloud-managed and self-hosted Kubernetes?
Yes. CloudKeeper supports all major Kubernetes environments, including AWS EKS, GCP GKE, and self-hosted clusters, offering consistent optimization and cost visibility across all platforms.
-
Q6. What access does CloudKeeper need to start the optimization process?
We only require read-only access to your Kubernetes environment during the assessment phase. This ensures a secure and non-intrusive review of your cluster setup, workloads, and configurations.
-
Q7. How often should Kubernetes optimization be performed?
We recommend running a full optimization cycle every 3 to 6 months. This ensures that changes in workload patterns, scale, or cloud pricing are regularly addressed to maintain cost efficiency.
-
Q8. Can I get customized cost dashboards for my teams or business units?
Yes. CloudKeeper creates custom cost dashboards segmented by namespace, label, cluster, or team, so you can track spending across different departments or projects with clarity.
-
Q9. What makes CloudKeeper’s Kubernetes services different?
Unlike generic MSPs, CloudKeeper combines deep Kubernetes expertise with a proprietary cost optimization platform, tailored dashboards,and a structured 3-step framework (Assess → Optimize → Review) for ongoing efficiency and performance gains.
-
Q10. What is the difference between Kubernetes and Docker?
Docker is a platform used to create and run containers—lightweight, portable units that package applications and their dependencies.
Kubernetes, on the other hand, is a system that manages and orchestrates those containers across multiple machines.
-
Q11. How to use Kubernetes in AWS?
You can run Kubernetes in AWS in two ways:
- Self-managed on EC2 instances.
- Managed service using Amazon EKS, which handles setup and scaling for you.
-
Q12. How to use Kubernetes in Google Cloud?
- Self-managed on Compute Engine instances: You set up and manage Kubernetes clusters yourself on virtual machines.
- Managed service using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE): GKE automates cluster provisioning, upgrades, scaling, and security, making it easier to run Kubernetes at scale.
