Enterprise-grade Kubernetes
for multi-cloud operations
Secure your Kubernetes deployments long term and focus on applications, not infrastructure. With Canonical Kubernetes, you get hassle-free installation and maintenance, and peace of mind for your containerized workloads.

Why choose
Canonical Kubernetes Platform?
- 12-year security maintenance and support gives you control over your upgrades schedule
- Easy to use with built-in, best-of-breed open source components for networking, local storage, DNS, load-balancer, metrics server, gateway, and ingress
- Zero ops from Day 0 to Day 2 - add and manage nodes in small Kubernetes clusters with minimal effort
- Automated cluster operations for easier large scale maintenance with Juju
- The same security-maintained Kubernetes that scales from your laptop to the cloud and the data centre
- CNCF conformant
What our clients say

“Kubernetes is both fast-moving and hard, so supporting it ourselves was not a viable option. The thought of having to support it would be daunting. To keep it supported and up to date, it's better to have experts who do this every day involved and manage it for us.”
Michael Hawkshaw
Mission Operations Infrastructure IT Service Manager
European Space Operations Centre

“We were looking for a Kubernetes distribution that is close to the upstream Kubernetes project and offers enterprise support. Canonical support is very qualified, effective and well structured.”
Patric Lichtsteiner
Linux Senior System Engineer
