Secure and efficient installation with KubeOps KOSI
The KubeOps Software Installer is designed to simplify the installation of packages and programs in Kubernetes clusters.
One notable feature: KubeOps KOSI is optimized for BSI-tested environments. Therefore it adheres to strict security standards and ensures a safe and secure installation process.
KubeOps KOSI has a batch engine and a “flow logic” that can be extended by plugins. This enhances the functionality and an easy use.
KubeOps KOSI can package everything into a self-sufficient package, which can then be transported in any complex and secure environment. This package is immutable and ensures that your packages remain secure and stable.
KOSI guarantees a secure installation process and is specially tailored to the requirements of IT baseline protection. This ensures a secure basis for your IT infrastructure.
KubeOps KOSI automates the entire lifecycle of software packages in Kubernetes, from packaging to deployment and maintenance. Through standardized processes, CI/CD integration and policy compliance, KOSI ensures efficient, secure and scalable deployment of applications.
KOSI provides a lean, secure and reliable way to define, install and manage packages in Kubernetes and offers a particular advantage by bundling images and other artifacts into a single package, especially for Airgap deployments.
KOSI secures deployment processes and ensures that their deployment processes comply with applicable security and compliance regulations, e.g. by adhering to IT baseline protection, ISO 27001 or GDPR (DSGVO).
KOSI integrates seamlessly into your existing systems without disrupting your current processes or causing additional complexity.
Software Deployment
For software-manufacturers KOSI offers the possibility to release their Kubernetes software as a single self-sufficient deployment file.
To do so, the manifacturer packages all needed deployment artefacts via
kosi buildVia
kosi pushthe packages gets uploaded to the KubeOps HUB giving either access only to the specific customer or even to the whole community if desired.
This simplifies the download process for the clients, as they just need to run a
kosi installto install the packages into their cluster, even behind a proxy (Airgap).
Helm Deployment
For customers planning to deploy a Helmchart KubeOps KOSI gives support at downloading and packaging all needed container images and artefacts into a single, self-sufficient package with
kosi buildBy publishing via
kosi push the package can be downloaded from KubeOps HUB as a single installation fine.
All relevant dependencies are managed by KOSI insuring installation.
Therefore, installing software with KOSI into your cluster simplifies, secures and eases the process of software deployments into your environments.
Deployment without KOSI
Problems:
-
Manual Processing
-
Effort Intensive
-
Vulnerable
-
Not reproducable
The classic way of software delivery in the cloud cosmos is using helm-charts and container images.
Requiering software manufactureres to publish the helm-chart, uploadcontainer images into a public registry and provide their customers with a list of all requiered artefacts.
Customers then have to pull these images, configure the helm-chart according to the environment specific settings, check all checksums etc. this often even gets more complex in productive environments. As these tend to have an outgoing proxy preventing broad access to the internet.
