Benefits of PMK
PMK is deployed using a unique and powerful Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, where our cloud hosted management plane remotely deploys, manages, monitors and upgrades your Kubernetes clusters, on-premises or on several public clouds. This enables us to provide a hassle-free Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform with a guaranteed 24x7x365 SLA for your Kubernetes environment.
