What is Claudie¶
Claudie is a platform for managing multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud Kubernetes clusters. These Kubernetes clusters can mix and match nodepools from various cloud providers, e.g. a single cluster can have a nodepool in AWS, another in GCP and another one on-premises. This is our opinionated way to build multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud Kubernetes infrastructure. On top of that Claudie supports Cluster Autoscaler on the managed clusters.
Vision¶
The purpose of Claudie is to become the final Kubernetes engine you'll ever need. It aims to build clusters that leverage features and costs across multiple cloud vendors and on-prem datacenters. A Kubernetes that you won't ever need to migrate away from.
Use cases¶
Claudie has been built as an answer to the following Kubernetes challenges:
- Cost savings
- Data locality & compliance (e.g. GDPR)
- Managed Kubernetes for providers that do not offer it
- Cloud bursting
- Service interconnet
