Lower costs, more efficiency. This is what many companies want when it comes to developing their business software. Technical innovations such as the cloud and increasing demands are changing the requirements for customised software projects. KUBE-X, our innovative development platform, is changing the way companies approach software development.

KUBE-X meets Azure Cloud

KUBE-X is more than just an advertising campaign and loose promises. KUBE-X is based on over 20 years of experience in customised software development and is based on technologies and processes that sustainably improve software development. In this article, you will find out how KUBE-X utilises the full potential of cloud computing and what benefits this process brings. We focus on a few technical features that emphasise the uniqueness of this development platform.

KUBE-X was developed specifically for the development of enterprise software and uses the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) in a highly standardised setup that is fully orchestrated with Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This innovative approach not only offers all the advantages of Kubernetes, but also a significantly lower price than conventional Kubernetes setups from scratch.

Making the most of the advantages of the cloud

The strength of KUBE-X lies in its seamless integration with the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Microsoft Azure’s managed container orchestration service. AKS is at the heart of KUBE-X’s deployment and operations strategy. This managed service from Azure simplifies the deployment, management and operation of Kubernetes and provides scalable and secure containerised application management without the hassle of manually setting up and maintaining clusters.

By using AKS, organisations can deploy, manage and scale applications more efficiently. The scalability of the cloud harmonises perfectly with the container orchestration functions of Kubernetes, enabling dynamic adaptation to requirements. This enables companies to ensure highly available and high-performance applications without having to deal with complex infrastructure management.

Cloud-first approach

The foundation of KUBE-X is based on the premise that cloud services, particularly those from Azure, AWS and GCP, offer reproducible, cost-effective and robust platforms for web-based solutions. This “cloud-first” strategy aims to reduce the heterogeneity of hosting and runtime environments that has been a major problem over the last 20 years.

What types of cloud are there?

There are different forms of cloud deployment models, including public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud. The public cloud is a cloud platform managed by a provider that is publicly accessible and shared by various organisations. Servers, storage and applications are shared via the internet.

Examples of public cloud providers are Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. In contrast, the private cloud is intended for a single organisation, offers more control and security and the resources are intended exclusively for internal use. The hybrid cloud combines public and private clouds, allows flexible sharing of resources and data, and enables organisations to take advantage of both cloud services by keeping sensitive files in the private cloud while leveraging the scalability and computing resources of the public cloud.

Standardisation through infrastructure as code

The implementation of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a fundamental component of KUBE-X. This innovative method makes it possible to define, provide and manage the entire infrastructure of a system using code. In concrete terms, this means that all elements, from network configurations to storage and computing resources, are defined in the form of programmatic code.

This approach not only ensures a high level of consistency between different environments such as development, test and production environments, but also reduces production environments, but also significantly reduces the risk of human error. In addition, IaC integration leads to considerable time savings in deployment processes as it enables efficient and reproducible workflows.

Cost efficiency as a central element

KUBE-X solves one of the biggest challenges in the introduction of Kubernetes in companies: the costs. By standardising the setup and using managed services from AKS, KUBE-X significantly lowers the hurdles. Companies can utilise all Kubernetes functions such as self-healing, service discovery and automatic rollouts and rollbacks without incurring high costs. This democratises access to cutting-edge technology for companies of all sizes. Find more benefits of KUBE-X here!

Improved developer productivity through automation

The KUBE-X platform has been designed with the productivity of our developers in mind. By abstracting away complexity, they can focus more on writing code and less on operational issues. Integration with DevOps practices and tools enables continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and automates the software delivery process. This allows organisations to accelerate their software development cycle and bring innovations to market faster.

Security and compliance as a fundamental principle

KUBE-X utilises the robust security features of AKS and the cloud to ensure that applications are secure from the outset. From automated updates to integrated security monitoring, KUBE-X provides a secure foundation for enterprise applications. In addition, the IaC approach ensures that security best practices and compliance requirements are applied consistently across all environments.

A step into the future of software development

Overall, the use of KUBE-X represents a significant advance in software development. By utilising the full potential of the cloud in a targeted manner, especially in conjunction with the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and the implementation of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), companies will benefit from a wide range of advantages. Cost efficiency is drastically improved through the standardisation of the setup and the use of managed services from AKS. Efficiency and scalability reach new heights as seamless integration with AKS enables organisations to deploy applications dynamically and with high availability.

Standardisation through IaC ensures consistency and minimises manual errors, while developer productivity is increased through automation and a focus on code writing. Security and compliance are fundamental principles that are ensured by utilising robust security features of AKS and Cloud. With a cloud-first approach, KUBE-X provides a reproducible, cost-efficient and stable platform for web-based solutions that effectively reduces the heterogeneity of hosting and runtime environments. Overall, KUBE-X creates a comprehensive, effective solution for companies of all sizes to successfully meet the challenges of modern software development.
