Project goals

Ensuring safe work with clusters

Ability to view and change all cluster settings from one place

Development of an intuitive and simple user interface

Creation of different application versions, both for running inside and outside the cluster

Concept

Kubevious - modern and clear graphic interface for Kubernetes. The application makes configuring apps and viewing their statuses safe and easy to understand.

Our solutions

Creation of library component

Using modern encrypting standards

Creating the Kubic programming language based on JavaScript

Using microservice architecture

Development history

Kubevious is a modern platform that at the moment of joining the company had only a small working prototype. After discussing details our team started developing functionality and creating new applications in the Kubevious ecosystem.

Implemented features

Creating a node diagramm

One of the main advantages of the application is a friendly and clear user interface. It is based on a hierarchy diagram, with which it is easy and clear to see cluster components.

Implemented features

Add cluster analytics

Using d3 library, we have released a scalable timeline graph to track the life cycle of a cluster. A menu has also been added to display errors and warnings of your cluster.

Implemented features

Custom rules and markers

One of the main features of the application is an interactive diagram displaying a node in the cluster. For easier navigation and filtering, the ability to create custom rules was added, according to which the grouping of nodes was configured. Also a marker could be added to each group to facilitate the search on the general diagram.

Sometimes it is not enough to classify objects by errors or warnings. Marker editor allows you to assign arbitrary items to objects with the help of rules engine. They can be used for quick access or for better categorization.

Implemented features

Creating a website and a blog

Our design team created the design for the application site and then the developers brought it to life. It is important to note that there is a blog on the site that publishes feature articles from the world of Kubernetes.

Website

An animated website that conveys the concept of the brand.

Docs

The section contains the full instructions for working with service and answers to popular questions from users.

Implemented features

Working with the administration part of the portal

In the course of our work, we have created an administrator portal where you can track cluster usage statistics. Also, that portal had an interactive map where you could see the location of the clusters.

Implemented features

Application security

We have done a lot of work on the security of the application. All cluster data is transmitted in encrypted form and protected from hacking.

PodSecurityPolicies provide fine-grained authorization for creating and updating pods. This validator determines where PodSecurityPolicies used in the roles are not found.

Our clients are really impressed with Kubevious, the cluster control panel. Flawless user interface, tons of contextual information and a very easy installation process. Developers did an excellent job. They showed themselves at all stages as a highly professional and competent partner focused on results.
