EKaaS

(Elastic Kubernetes as a Service)

A service to deploy self-managed and customised Kubernetes clusters as a service with additional capabilities to support specific hardware backends in the EGI Federated Cloud. EKaaS facilitates users to deploy not only the processing back-end in the form of a Kubernetes cluster but a set of applications as Helm charts. EKaaS clusters are self-managed so they shrink or grow automatically (up to a predefined maximum quota) according to the workload.
