Accelerator

We use the term accelerator to describe trainings and workshops that can be booked as add-ons to help train your staff in the use and development of Kubernetes. In addition to kloudease and Kubernetes-specific trainings, AOE offers further workshops as part of the AOE Academy.

BYOI

Bring Your Own Infrastructure means that as a customer you give us access to a hyperscaler account (AWS, Azure, STACKIT, …) so we can operate kloudease for you. This allows kloudease to be integrated into your existing IT landscape.

Cloud-native

An application that meets the criteria for operation in a cloud environment, for example by following the 12-Factor principles.

Cloud Provider

A cloud provider is a company that supplies compute resources, such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or STACKIT.

Control Plane

The control plane is the management component of Kubernetes that controls the cluster and its workloads. kloudease takes care of operating and maintaining the availability of the control plane.

Hyperscaler

Hyperscalers are large cloud providers such as AWS, Azure or STACKIT that offer compute resources and as-a-service solutions.

RPO

The Recovery Point Objective defines the point in time to which data can be restored after an incident. An RPO of one hour means that backups must be created hourly and the maximum data loss is one hour (the time between two backups). RPOs are defined in our Service Level Agreements and depend on the booked tier (Starter, Business, Enterprise).

SLA

Site Reliability Engineering as a Service: we actively support you in operating your applications on kloudease and take over operations.

SLO

Service Level Objective

SOW

The Statement of Work governs special arrangements that are negotiated individually with customers.

SREaaS

Site Reliability Engineering as a Service: we actively support you in operating your applications on kloudease and take over operations.

Vendor agnostic

kloudease is independent of cloud providers (AWS, Azure, STACKIT, …) and can be deployed wherever Kubernetes can run.

Vendor Lock-in

Vendor lock-in refers to the dependency on a single service provider (vendor), for example through heavy reliance on the as-a-service offerings of a cloud provider.
