Purpose

To run their workloads our customers and VSHN (for example to do AppOps) need Kubernetes. Strategically, VSHN doesn’t want to build and run Kubernetes clusters when they are available as a service from the cloud provider.

We therefore need to develop and maintain how to most effectively broker the provisioning and configuration of cloud Kubernetes and their environment according to customer needs and reliably run them as a VSHN managed service. With that, VSHN AppOps and our customers don’t need to care about getting and running Kubernetes clusters in the cloud.
