Yandex Managed Service for Kubernetes®

A Yandex Cloud service for managing Kubernetes® clusters.

Yandex Container Registry integration

Connect to a repository in Yandex Container Registry and store Docker images near the infrastructure.

Common tools for working with clusters

Manage clusters using the kubectl command line, or use Helm, Draft, or Brigade to automate application delivery.

Secure infrastructure

All master-node interactions are encrypted using the TLS protocol. For added security, you can create private clusters with no internet connectivity.

High availability

You can choose the master type: zonal or regional. Regional masters are automatically replicated in three geographically distributed availability zones.

Easy maintenance

You create a cluster and node groups, and we take care of maintaining and updating all cluster infrastructure components.

Yandex Identity and Access Management integration

You don’t need to create multiple configuration files for employees to access the service. It lets you connect users to Kubernetes clusters using your company’s accounts.

Microservices

The microservice architecture structures applications as a set of small independent services. Containers are perfect for running small loosely coupled applications.

Migrating applications

Containerize your applications and migrate them to Yandex Cloud without refactoring code or developing additional tools.

Automatic scaling

Use service features to create applications that automatically scale to meet the load. During periods of peak demand, your application remains available, while under standard loads, the Kubernetes cluster is decreased automatically.

We'll take care of most of the Kubernetes cluster maintenance
