Previder strengthens its position in the cloud-native world through official membership and Kubernetes certifications with the CNCF
Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) was established in 2015 as part of the Linux Foundation. The CNCF's goal is to build sustainable ecosystems for cloud-native software. The foundation was launched along with Kubernetes 1.0, an open-source container cluster manager contributed by Google as a start-up technology. The CNCF now supports more than 450 members and plays a crucial role in advancing container technology and uniting the tech industry around its evolution.
By joining CNCF, Previder underlines its commitment to embrace the latest standards and innovations in container management and automation. Previder's Kubernetes as a Service solution enables organisations to flexibly and efficiently manage applications in the cloud, without the complexity of infrastructure management. ‘We are proud to join CNCF to contribute to the growth of cloud-native technologies,’ said Peter Bult, Lead Consultant at Previder. ‘Our Kubernetes as a Service solution provides customers with a scalable and reliable way to manage their applications, and our CNCF membership reinforces our commitment to remain at the forefront of innovation.’
Certified Kubernetes - Hosted
As a Certified Kubernetes Partner, Previder meets the official Kubernetes Software Conformance standards. The status of Certified Kubernetes - Hosted means that its Kubernetes implementations meet the CNCF's strict conformance requirements. This ensures that this version of Kubernetes supports the required APIs and provides interoperability between different Kubernetes deployments. This gives Previder's customers the flexibility to choose between different vendors with the assurance that its solution always meets the highest requirements of the open source community and the CNCF.
Kubernetes Certified Service Provider (KCSP)
As a Kubernetes Certified Service Provider (KCSP), Previder is recognised as a leading service provider with deep experience in helping companies successfully adopt Kubernetes. This certification confirms that they have the expertise to support organisations with their Kubernetes deployments, from consulting and professional services to training and support.
The benefit to customers of Previder's membership with the CNCF and their Kubernetes as a Service solution is significant:
- Reliability and Innovation: as a member of the CNCF, Previder constantly stays abreast of the latest developments in cloud-native technologies, such as Kubernetes. Customers benefit from a platform built on the most up-to-date and reliable technologies, ensuring future-proof solutions.
- Faster Innovation Cycles: thanks to the focus on open-source innovations within the CNCF, customers get access to the latest features and enhancements in Kubernetes and other cloud-native tools, accelerating the innovation cycle within their own IT infrastructure.
- Flexibility and Scalability: with Kubernetes as a Service from Previder, customers can easily manage and scale their applications, without having to deal with the complexity of infrastructure management. This provides flexibility to respond quickly to changing business needs.
- Cost savings: by using an automated and scalable Kubernetes platform, companies save time and resources on IT management and infrastructure costs. The solution takes much of the complex maintenance and management out of their hands, allowing internal teams to focus on core business activities.
- Enhanced security: Previder offers a Kubernetes environment with integrated security measures that comply with CNCF standards. This increases the security of customers' applications and data.
In short, membership in the CNCF assures Previder customers of a modern, secure and scalable solution for managing their applications in the cloud, with continuous innovation and support from the cloud-native community. It can offer customers access to the latest technologies, higher reliability and a network of knowledge and innovation, making their cloud-native transition faster and more effective. "Achieving these certifications is a testament to our commitment to quality and innovation. It enables us to serve our customers even better with reliable, scalable and efficient Kubernetes solutions. We are excited to be part of the CNCF community and look forward to working with other members to shape the future of cloud-native technologies.
