Kubernetes (K8s) design, construction, and operation services

Beyond service information

◆ We support the design, construction, and operation of Kubernetes container infrastructure ◆

Kubernetes (K8s) is an open source software (OSS) container orchestration technology that provides an infrastructure for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of applications.

comprehensively managing scheduling, load balancing, health monitoring, etc. of multiple Docker containers launched on the host OS , scalable and flexible system operation is achieved.

Beyond uses various cloud services compatible with this Kubernetes infrastructure and Docker, an OSS (open source software) for developing, deploying, and executing applications using container virtualization, to develop DevOPS, CI / We support the design, construction, and operation of infrastructure with CD (application deployment, scaling, automatic operation, etc.) functions

Kubernetes (K8s) containers

◆ Benefits of using Kubernetes container environment ◆

Kubernetes, a container cluster is configured by managing multiple Docker hosts, so when running containers on Kubernetes, deploying them as replicas of the same container improves load balancing, autoscaling, and fault tolerance of the infrastructure environment. To do.

Beyond uses DevOPS and CI/CD technology to support everything from designing and building Kubernetes environments to operating them. Since it is multi-cloud compatible, we can support the design, construction, and operation of container infrastructure using various cloud platforms such as AWS Fargate, Amazon EKS, and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

Scalability of service infrastructure
Since there is no guest OS and the kernel of the host OS is shared, booting, building, and deploying can be performed quickly with minimal overhead. In addition, because the necessary resources can be quickly deployed in response to demand, costs can be reduced compared to the traditional method of building a new server environment for each service or application.
Automate service construction
By turning services and applications into microservices, we achieve portability that transcends the boundaries between infrastructure and applications. By automating system configuration management, services can be developed and executed more quickly, improving application-specific workflows and providing a scalable system.
Streamlining service operations
In traditional hypervisor environments, settings for log and data management and monitoring functions must be applied to each server environment and guest OS. With a Kubernetes container environment, you can streamline the work of deploying and expanding applications, increasing the efficiency of service and application operations.

◆ Beyond Kubernetes design, construction, and operation services ◆

We will listen to and define the specifications and functions of services and applications that run on the Kubernetes container platform, and provide technical support for designing, building, and operating infrastructure that is effective for customers and companies. We also support the design, construction, and operation of Kubernetes container infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible code design and construction automation tools.

◆ Flow of Kubernetes design, construction, and operation services ◆

From the time you request Beyond's Kubernetes design, construction, and operation to the completion of the work, we expect a schedule of 30 to 60 business days. We provide the optimal container environment for running services and applications in accordance with the infrastructure configuration determined in the container design and construction plan.

Additionally, during the Kubernetes operation phase, we set up the necessary items for daily container operation, maintenance, and monitoring. We aim to ensure stable operation of the container environment through an operation, maintenance, and monitoring system that is prepared for unexpected situations, such as recovery from irregular system failures.

1. Service design phase

We will conduct a thorough hearing and organize the configuration in advance so that you will not have any problems once the service/application begins operation. We pay close attention to the details of container design, including selecting the appropriate Kubernetes components, designing the application, and defining logging, backup, and security.
2. Service construction phase

We will build Kubernetes and container environments as designed in advance, such as creating manifests for Kubernetes components and Docker files. After the construction of Kubernetes and containers is completed, we will provide a complete set of IaC code files, parameter sheets, and infrastructure configuration diagrams.
3. Service operation phase

Beyond, which specializes in the operation, maintenance, and monitoring of large-scale, high-load cloud/servers, can monitor and support services and applications, and configure/add/add Kubernetes and container environments in accordance with service and application updates. We will support operations such as changes.

*The above work content and work process is an example. The content and process of Kubernetes design, construction, and operation may change depending on various conditions such as service/application specifications, functions, and configuration. Please contact us separately for details.

◆ Beyond's Kubernetes design, construction, and operation plan (example) ◆

◇ AWS
・ AWS Fargate

A serverless compute engine for containers that works with both Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).

◇ AWS
・Amazon EKS

It provides flexible, highly available, and secure clusters to start, run, and scale Kubernetes on the AWS cloud, and automates key tasks like patch provisioning.

◇ Google Cloud
・Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

A managed service that automatically deploys and scales containerized applications using Google's Kubernetes-based platform.

◇ Oracle Cloud
・Oracle Container Engine (OKE)

You can quickly create, manage, and use Kubernetes clusters that leverage underlying compute, network, storage, and storage services, simplifying the complexities of Kubernetes operations.

*The above service lineup is just an example. If you would like to introduce Kubernetes design, construction, and operation that are not listed above, please contact us separately.

Please tell me the process of server data migration.

When migrating from the current server to the cloud, select a new cloud/server to introduce, thoroughly identify bottlenecks and risks during data migration, and consider data synchronization methods for databases and content, system downtime, and DNS switching. We will finalize the work process and schedule up to work and operation confirmation.

Server data migration work process (example)

What kind of applications are the services provided by Beyond suitable for?

Web services such as games, apps, EC sites, media sites, and digital content require speed and flexibility, and are suitable for companies that operate services that are directly linked to sales, and for content development and management. This is probably suitable for companies that want to concentrate, or companies that do not have a server administrator in the first place.

Additionally, there is a tendency for companies facing such issues to outsource their services to MSPs (managed service providers) like Beyond, which specialize in cloud/server construction, operation, maintenance, and monitoring.
