OKD is the community version of Red Hat's OpenShift. Containerisation and Kubernetes help development teams maintain the high pace required in modern software development. Using a container platform also provides a very efficient way to maintain, upgrade and scale applications.
A container platform as a cornerstone in the development organisation leads to shorter time to market, greater flexibility and innovation for developers, and a drastically shortened release process.

In recent years, we have seen container service technology explode in the Swedish market. Through the projects we have carried out, we have learned a lot and see a clear need among organizations to be able to leverage the advantages of a container platform without having to take on the time-consuming work of installing and maintaining it.
We offer fully supported and managed Kubernetes solution with SLA across the entire container platform. We want you to be able to look up and focus on development – therefore updates, monitoring, troubleshooting, backup, patching, certificates, support and regular operations meetings are included.
Today, software development must happen faster and faster to meet business demands. You are expected to keep pace with, or even surpass, your competitors. If you are developing a new application, you have definitely encountered Kubernetes and containers. Kubernetes accelerates your development process by making your application more modular.
Kubernetes also gives you a very efficient way to maintain the application when it is in production, as well as an easy way to upgrade and scale it when needed.
With containers, you can write your code once and easily port it to another container environment. Everything you need to run your code is inside your container. You will no longer need to wonder which version of Python you should have in your production environment. Package your libraries and all your dependencies into your container, run it in your test environment, and then run exactly the same container in production. No complications!
Thus, it can be said that Kubernetes offers direct portability across different clouds. With Kubernetes, you can easily move your container-based applications across multiple clouds and environments, enabling greater flexibility and choice. You will build cloud-native applications that can run anywhere! All details related to differences in operating systems and underlying clouds are removed.
With Kubernetes, you can easily scale your application based on your actual needs at the moment. It is the same technology that Netflix uses to run billions of containers every week and keep pace with demand. Software can be installed in a scalable way in your cloud, and the application can be scaled in or out at any time. Kubernetes can easily scale to meet the needs of even the fastest-growing application. Kubernetes auto-scalers automatically size an application's number of resources based on actual usage. You can set predefined limits to control the maximum number of resources you can consume.
Kubernetes is lightweight - instead of running a virtual machine with many gigabytes, you run a small container with just a few kilobytes to run it. This means containers use far fewer resources than virtual machines, making them very resource-efficient and cost-effective. Kubernetes containers share the operating system with other containers running on the same host, which saves a lot of resources.
Because they are so light, Kubernetes containers can start almost immediately. Compare this to virtual machines that can take several minutes to boot their operating systems and start running the applications within them. Containers are usually faster than virtual machines because they don't have the overhead associated with an operating system. Create the Kubernetes containers you need to handle the requests you have at the moment, and remove them when they are no longer needed - in this way, you can save a lot of resources! This is how you build truly scalable and efficient applications.
Kubernetes keeps your application simple by allowing you to build smaller and independent software called microservices. Instead of running a whole complex application in a single software, the application should be divided into small microservices. These microservices are highly modular, allowing them to live independently and helping to speed up the time-to-market for your application. This is because your modules are not tightly coupled to other parts of your system and can be developed independently as business requirements change.
Applications built as microservices are easier to manage since each module is relatively simple, and changes can be made to modules without requiring changes to the underlying architecture of the entire application.
In addition to automatically scaling the different parts of your application, Kubernetes also simplifies day-to-day operations for you and your team. One of the most important is upgrading your application when it's time. You don't want downtime and you want a way to easily roll back if something unexpected happens. With the help of Kubernetes, updates to your application can be arranged in a rolling manner, that is, one component at a time. All you need to do is define the minimum number of resources that need to be available at all times to serve your users, and the maximum number of resources that can be unavailable due to the upgrade. You can roll back to the previous version at any time if something unexpected happens.
Another way to simplify your upgrade is to create a new version of your application with containers in production, alongside the previous version. You can then scale up the new version while scaling down the older version. Since Kubernetes containers are so lightweight and fast to create, this is a very safe way to get a new version of your applications into production.
Kubernetes also offers fault-tolerance by default and even auto-healing capabilities. If something doesn't work, your Kubernetes orchestrator can detect it and act immediately to fix the problem. All this without affecting the users.
As an open source platform, Kubernetes keeps you free from vendor lock-in. With Kubernetes, you can easily move applications across multiple cloud environments. We at Binero love choice, and open source software is definitely a part of that!
Focus on development and enjoy an automated infrastructure. Standardisation of workflows, support for multiple environments, and CI/CD work methods.
With a simple interface, you can get started quickly. There are also pre-installed and pre-configured frameworks in the container platform. Choose your programming language, test new ideas anytime, and control your own development environment. Then deploy your code independently of the underlying infrastructure.
Set up a pipeline that automatically builds and tests your application when code changes are made. Perform code quality tests and regression tests to increase the quality of the application, without extra manual work.
Do you want all the benefits of Kubernetes but don't have time to build and operate it? We have the right solution for you! We offer you a fully managed Kubernetes platform so that you can fully focus on developing your applications.
In combination with Binero's public cloud, this creates a unique and complete Kubernetes container platform for the Nordic market, with the flexibility and security of a managed service.
Our managed Kubernetes platform gives you much more than just Kubernetes. You get:
