Kubernetes in Hybrid Manager

Hybrid Manager uses Kubernetes as a foundational platform to orchestrate and manage many of its core services.

By running on Kubernetes, Hybrid Manager gains:

• Scalable and resilient deployment of control plane services
• Declarative configuration and lifecycle management of Hybrid Manager components
• Integration with cloud-native services across multiple cloud providers
• Consistent operational patterns for monitoring, logging, and backup
• Support for modern DevOps and GitOps workflows

Key benefits

• Portability: Hybrid Manager can be deployed across multiple Kubernetes distributions (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift, self-managed).
• Resiliency: Kubernetes enables automated recovery and scaling of critical Hybrid Manager services.
• Observability: Kubernetes-native monitoring and logging provide deep visibility into Hybrid Manager operations.
• Automation: Hybrid Manager leverages Kubernetes APIs for lifecycle automation of both platform services and managed databases.
