Deploy Hybrid and Multi-cloud Kubernetes

Multi Cluster Management for Hybrid and Multi-cloud

Situation

Managing Clouds Individually Doesn't Scale

For IT leaders, the promise of “cloud freedom” has met a hard reality. Managing multiple providers without a unified layer has created a sprawl of duplicated tooling, inconsistent security postures, and specialized silos. Instead of driving innovation, engineering talent is being drained by the friction of incompatible workflows and fragmented compliance.

The path to true digital agility requires a shift in perspective: moving beyond managing individual clusters to orchestrating the entire fleet as a single, programmable asset.

By 2027, 90% of organizations will adopt a hybrid cloud strategy, with 75% of large enterprises employing hybrid or multi-cloud setups by 2026 to manage complex infrastructure.

How we help

Standardization, Automation, and Centralized Control Across Every Cloud

Kubermatic eliminates multi-cloud complexity by establishing a consistent operational layer based on the declarative Kubernetes API. By abstracting the underlying environment, Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform (KKP) provides a universal operational layer. Every environment — on-premises, public cloud, and edge — is managed from a single, centralized control plane.

Standardization and Automation at Scale

KKP replaces snowflake configurations with standardized, automated infrastructure. Platform teams define global standards once, ensuring every cluster, whether in AWS or a local data center, operates with the same reliability, security, and performance.

Zero-Touch Immutable Infrastructure

KKP enables dynamic provisioning with a security-first approach. By leveraging immutable clusters and zero-touch environments, Kubermatic reduces the risk of configuration drift and human error. This creates a global data experience where security is baked into the lifecycle of every asset.

Reduced Tooling and Compliance Overhead

Kubermatic eliminates the need to manage a separate stack and compliance program for every cloud provider. KKP allows scaling across providers with one consistent set of tooling. This unifies operational workflows, reducing licensing costs, and simplifies compliance by providing a single point of audit for the entire global fleet.

Use Cases

Kubernetes-as-a-Service for Internal Teams

The Mission: Deliver a self-service Kubernetes portal to development teams across multiple cloud providers — without requiring dedicated platform engineers per team.
The Application: KKP’s self-service portal enables compliant environment provisioning in under 3 minutes. Developers gain independence while the platform team maintains centralized guardrails.

Application Migration at Scale

The Mission: Speed up large-scale migration of applications onto Kubernetes clusters, removing the need to maintain outdated legacy application infrastructure.
The Application: The Kubermatic Application Migration Accelerator (11.5-day engagement) combines training, consultancy, and tooling to execute large migrations systematically. KKP’s fleet management tracks migration waves across all clusters, with automated rollback capability for any workload that fails validation.

Multi-provider Compliance and Security Standardization

The Mission: Enforce consistent security policies, RBAC, and audit controls across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises clusters without maintaining separate compliance programs per provider.
The Application: KKP defines and enforces security policies at the platform layer, propagating identical controls to every cluster, regardless of underlying provider. This policy-as-code approach automates audit evidence generation across the entire infrastructure fleet.

Outcome

Cloud Freedom Without Operational Complexity

By standardizing on Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform, organizations gain genuine multi-cloud agility, operating hundreds of clusters across any provider combination with the same tools, workflows, and compliance posture.

One Toolchain Across Every Cloud

Eliminate per-provider operational overhead. Platform teams manage AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises clusters identically — reducing tooling costs and cognitive load simultaneously.

Cluster Deployment in Under 3 Minutes

Automated cluster lifecycle management replaces manual provisioning workflows. Self-service portals give teams environment access in minutes — not days of ticket queue time.

Self-Healing Infrastructure

KKP’s automated operations detect and remediate cluster health issues without human intervention — reducing on-call burden and improving overall fleet reliability.

Centralized Compliance at Scale

Security audits cover the platform layer once — not each cloud’s control plane separately. Policy-as-code enforcement generates per-cluster compliance evidence automatically across every provider.
