“Platform9 Managed Kubernetes has greatly simplified our lives and accelerated our development time knowing that we don’t need to worry about ensuring uptime and operating our current infrastructure”
Let the SaaS management plane handle 24/7 remote-monitoring for cluster health & auto-alert
As soon as a cluster is created, PMK’s SaaS management plane will auto-monitor it 24/7 for issues, so you don’t have to.
Prometheus & Grafana are automatically set up during your cluster deployment, providing cluster, node and pod metrics in a single view.
You also receive alarms & notifications for critical Kubernetes infrastructure issues

“The Platform9 team has been awesome. One of the very, very good experiences that I witnessed is that when we had a network issue, Platform9 proactively worked with our team to troubleshoot the problem. In the end, the problem had nothing to do with Platform9 stack, but their team saw it through, it’s been years since I have seen support that dedicated.”
