Pipeline is Banzai Cloud’s Kubernetes container management platform, which allows enterprises to develop, deploy and securely scale container-based applications in multi- and hybrid-cloud environments. While one of Pipeline’s core features is to automate the provisioning of Kubernetes clusters across major cloud providers, including Amazon, Azure, Google and on-premise environments (VMware and bare metal), we strongly believe that Kubernetes as a Service should be capable of much more. Pipeline has been a key enabler of multi- and hybrid-cloud strategies, providing both a unified cockpit for operations and a high level of workflow and workload portability for developers across major cloud and datacenters - in four different ways

One of our goals at BanzaiCloud is to make our customers’ lives easier by providing low barrier to entry, easy to use solutions for running applications on Kubernetes. To achieve this, we often rely on Kubernetes Operators to provide comprehensive solutions over the course of an application’s lifecycle. Here is a list of our operators, which we have already open sourced: Vault Operator Prometheus JMX Exporter Operator Wildfly Operator

Update: Logging operator v3 (released March, 2020) We’re constantly improving the logging-operator based on feature requests of our ops team and our customers. The main features of version 3.0 are: Log routing based on namespaces Excluding logs Select (or exclude) logs based on hosts and container names Logging operator documentation is now available on the Banzai Cloud site. Check The Kubernetes logging operator reloaded post for details.

Monitoring series: Monitoring Apache Spark with Prometheus Monitoring multiple federated clusters with Prometheus - the secure way Application monitoring with Prometheus and Pipeline Building a cloud cost management system on top of Prometheus Monitoring Spark with Prometheus, reloaded Kafka on Kubernetes the easy way At Banzai Cloud we provision and monitor large Kubernetes clusters deployed to multiple cloud/hybrid environments, using Prometheus. The clusters, applications or frameworks are all managed by our next generation PaaS, Pipeline.

At Banzai Cloud we run multiple Kubernetes clusters deployed with our next generation PaaS, Pipeline, and we deploy these clusters across different cloud providers like AWS, Azure and Google, or on-premise. These clusters are typically launched via the same control plane deployed either to AWS, as a CloudFormation template, or Azure, as an ARM template. And, since we practice what we preach, they run inside Kubernetes as well. One of the added values to deployments via Pipeline is out-of-the-box monitoring and dashboards through default spotguides for the applications we also support out-of-the-box.
