Kubernetes Service on the ORIA Enterprise Cloud
Cloud-native platform. Secure. Swiss.
With the ORIA Kubernetes Service, companies can run containerized applications with high availability, scalability, and security on the ORIA Enterprise Cloud. Operations are conducted entirely in Switzerland. Data remains in Swiss data centers. Data sovereignty remains with the customer at all times.
Whether microservices, DevOps platforms, or modern cloud-native applications, ORIA Kubernetes provides a stable and production-ready foundation for demanding enterprise-level workloads.
What is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is the de facto standard for container orchestration. The open source platform automates the operation of applications across distributed environments and performs key tasks in platform operation:
- Automated deployments and rollbacks
- Horizontal and vertical scaling
- Self-healing in case of failures
- Load balancing and service discovery
- Consistent configuration and secret management
Kubernetes enables agile development processes, high availability, and efficient use of infrastructure resources. At the same time, however, it also significantly increases operational complexity. This is exactly where ORIA comes in.
Your advantages with Kubernetes
Scalability on demand
Resources grow dynamically with the requirements of your applications.
High availability
Services and containers are automatically restarted or relocated in the event of malfunctions.
Faster time to market
Standardized deployments and CI/CD-enabled platforms accelerate releases.
Cloud-native architecture
Ideal for microservices, APIs, and modern application landscapes.
No ties to hyperscalers or proprietary platforms.
Kubernetes is not an end in itself. The added value comes when architecture, operations, and governance work together seamlessly.
ORIA Kubernetes. Enterprise ready.
The ORIA Kubernetes Service is operated on the ORIA Enterprise Cloud and is designed to be geo-redundant in Swiss data centers. Security, availability, and compliance are integral parts of the platform.
Highlights of the ORIA Enterprise Cloud
- 100 percent data storage in Switzerland
- Full data sovereignty and control
- Operations in two highly secure Swiss data centers
- ISO and ISAE compliant processes
- Client-secure architecture
- Integrated security, monitoring, and backup concepts
ORIA Kubernetes is particularly suitable for organizations with regulatory requirements, sensitive data, or clear compliance guidelines. At the same time, the platform remains open and flexible enough for modern development models.
Service models
Kubernetes Cluster Basic
Suitable for organizations with their own Kubernetes expertise.
- Kubernetes clusters in the IaaS model
- Operation and responsibility for the infrastructure by ORIA
- Full administrative access rights for the customer
- High availability of infrastructure
The customer is responsible for Kubernetes configuration, updates, and cluster services. This model requires the appropriate expertise and offers maximum control.
Kubernetes Cluster Advanced
The fully managed Kubernetes operating model.
- Operation of infrastructure and Kubernetes layer by ORIA
- Monitoring of clusters and platforms
- Regular Kubernetes updates and security patches
- Management of central cluster services such as RBAC, Ingress, and DNS
- Provision of components such as secrets management, container registry, or monitoring dashboards
- Guaranteed availability up to the Kubernetes API
This model makes sense for companies that want to focus on their applications and deliberately outsource the operational effort involved in Kubernetes.
Kubernetes on physical hardware
For special performance or architecture requirements.
- Dedicated hardware without virtualization
- Optional with GPU support
- Suitable for AI, ML, or high-performance workloads
- Available for Basic and Advanced
Not every application benefits from virtualization. ORIA also offers pragmatic options here.
Storage, networking, and security. Integrated.
ORIA Kubernetes is seamlessly embedded in the ORIA Enterprise Cloud:
- High-performance NFS and S3 object storage
- Persistent volumes on high-performance SSD storage
- Redundant network connection
- Integrated firewall and security services
- Enterprise-standard backup and recovery concepts
Everything from a single source. One operating partner. Clear responsibilities.
Ready for Kubernetes in Switzerland?
Kubernetes is powerful but demanding. Architecture, operation, and security concepts must fit together. We support you from evaluation and architecture to stable operation.
