Balancing Flexibility, Security, and Cost Efficiency in your Kubernetes Platform

In the first part of this series we take a look at some of the considerations when building out a Kubernetes Platform. We discuss Flexibility, Security, and Cost Efficiency.

• Flexibility: Choose between cloud or on-prem, DIY solutions, and use of namespaces/vClusters for user isolation.
• Security: Balance productivity and security, start with simple steps, and invest in RBAC.
• Cost Efficiency: Optimize cluster numbers, compare hosted vs. DIY, and manage costs effectively.
• Overall: Evaluate deployment options, prioritize security, optimize costs, and ensure user isolation.
