Cegeka introduces the managed container platform KubePort, designed to facilitate cloud-native development and support a DevSecOps approach.

Cegeka launches KubePort: a managed container platform designed to reduce the complexity of cloud-native software development while ensuring security and compliance. The solution would be tailored for organizations using a DevSecOps approach. This buzzword seems to mainly refer to the presence of security tools in the container platform.

Simplifying cloud-native development

KubePort was intended to be a comprehensive solution that supports various levels of the IT stack, including infrastructure, container platform and cloud-native tools. The platform is cloud agnostic and can therefore be used in both public and private cloud environments. Cegeka uses standard tools and frameworks. There is also an on-premise area.

Cegeka provides and manages:

• The infrastructure, both on-premises and in the cloud
• Container orchestration with Kubernetes, observability tools, load balancer, firewall, storage…
• Cloud-native tools with CI/CD tools, solutions for advanced observability, security and support.

The KubePort platform includes many popular tools, but Cegeka can also integrate and manage other solutions if desired. Above all, Cegeka wants to give companies the opportunity to rely on KubePort’s platform engineering team themselves. By taking on this part of management, IT professionals in organizations can focus on developing software that provides direct value.

Respond to trends

Gaetan Willems, global director of hybrid cloud at Cegeka, points to a Gartner prediction that platform engineering will play a key role in strategic technology trends for 2024. According to him, using KubePort allows companies to stay innovative without the overhead of an internal platform development team.

Cegeka positions KubePort as an important tool for companies that want to optimize their software development processes and strengthen their competitive position by focusing on their core activities.
