Rent Kubernetes Cluster

Why Kubernetes Clusters from IMT-Systems

Kubernetes is the de facto standard for orchestrating containerised applications – but running a production-ready cluster yourself ties up considerable resources. With our managed Kubernetes clusters, you get a ready-to-use, highly available platform operated in our ISO 27001-certified data centres in Frankfurt am Main – while retaining full control over your workloads.

Managed operation – you focus on your applications

We handle the operation of the control plane, patching, updates and monitoring – you focus on your applications. The clusters run on our own CloudStack platform with Ceph storage, so persistent storage, network and compute work together seamlessly. As the operator of the entire infrastructure – from the data centre through AS57358 to the platform – we avoid dependence on third-party services and keep your data exclusively in Germany.

Flexibly sized – dedicated or virtual

Not every cluster needs the same hardware foundation. Depending on your requirements, we provide the worker nodes on dedicated hardware for maximum performance and isolation – or as virtual nodes when flexibility and efficient resource utilisation are the priority. The control plane can optionally be set up for high availability. This results in a cluster that matches your exact requirements for performance, availability and budget – from a development cluster to a business-critical production environment.

Open standards instead of vendor lock-in

We consistently rely on upstream Kubernetes and established open-source components: containerd as the container runtime, Calico or Cilium for networking, CSI-based persistent storage via Ceph RBD, and Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring. Helm is available for deployments and – on request – ArgoCD for GitOps. You get a cluster without proprietary additions that can be managed at any time with standard tools such as kubectl and migrated if needed.
