How to Maintain Operations Around Kubernetes Cluster

Running a Kubernetes cluster requires careful management and maintenance to ensure efficiency, reliability, and security. One effective method is deploying the cluster inside a cloud provider using services like Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), or Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). These services offer scalability, cost-effectiveness, high availability, disaster recovery features, and enhanced security. To manage infrastructure resources, Terraform is recommended but not for managing Kubernetes resources directly. Instead, Helm and Kustomize provide a more streamlined solution for deploying sets of Kubernetes resources using simple templating languages. These tools can be used in conjunction with Spacelift's Stack Dependencies feature to create a seamless workflow for deploying clusters and applications within them. By leveraging Spacelift, managing Kubernetes clusters becomes easier, and the ability to create dependencies enhances efficiency.
