Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform Accelerator
Overview
See what the Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform (KKP) does on your own infrastructure before you commit. We build a working KKP environment on your public cloud, vSphere, OpenStack or bare metal and prove its capabilities with a real microservices application. A KKP Enterprise Edition trial license (125 vCPU) is included.
Goal
Hard evidence that KKP fits your environment: a tested platform, results against your own success criteria, and a clear list of production go-live prerequisites.
Who it is for
Platform and infrastructure teams evaluating KKP for multi-cluster, multi-tenant Kubernetes at the edge, across clouds or on bare metal.
Content
- 01
Explore
Goals, architecture review and frozen success criteria.
- 02
Deploy
HA KubeOne cluster, then KKP with identity, storage and load-balancer integration.
- 03
Enablement
Hands-on training and handover for your platform team.
- 04
Testing
Validation with Online Boutique, an 11-service microservices app under generated load.
- 05
Touchdown
Results and your production prerequisites.
Typical Activities
- Kick-off workshop and network architecture call
- KubeOne cluster bootstrap with Git-managed configuration and a live upgrade or node rotation
- KKP installation with OIDC or LDAP/AD and your infrastructure provider
- Monitoring, logging and backup add-ons
- Self-service cluster create, scale, upgrade and delete via UI and API
- Live demos: scaling under load, self-healing, observability, backup/restore, upgrade with the app running
- Control-plane benchmarking and security validation
Deliverables
| Phase | What you receive |
|---|---|
| Explore | Architecture requirements, PoV scope, prerequisites, frozen success criteria |
| Deploy | HA KubeOne cluster, KKP evaluation installation, configuration repository and docs |
| Enablement | Runbooks, multi-cluster concept paper, configuration and credential handover |
| Testing | Test log, benchmark report, security and compliance validation report |
| Touchdown | Final presentation, go-live prerequisites, expansion roadmap |
Prerequisites
- Infrastructure access and quotas
- Machines for the KubeOne cluster with a supported OS and SSH access
- DNS, load balancers and firewall rules in place
- VPN or jump host access for Kubermatic engineers
- A shared Git repository
- A project manager, technical counterpart and draft success criteria
Why this Accelerator?
- Proof on your infrastructure, not a vendor sandbox.
- A realistic workload that tests scaling, failure recovery and upgrades under load.
- Your success criteria, frozen up front for a clear yes or no.
- Your team learns by doing and keeps the runbooks and configuration.
- A clear path to production via the Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform Accelerator (Production Readiness).
What's not included
Production use or SLA, your own applications, production hardening, multi-site rollouts, physical infrastructure and custom development.
Optional extensions
Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform Accelerator (Production Readiness), multi-region rollout, KubeLB, Kubermatic Virtualization (KubeVirt), AI Kit, and managed 24/7 operations.
