What our clients say
“Kubernetes is both fast-moving and hard, so supporting it ourselves was not a viable option. The thought of having to support it would be daunting. To keep it supported and up to date, it's better to have experts who do this every day involved and manage it for us.”
Michael Hawkshaw
Mission Operations Infrastructure IT Service Manager
European Space Operations Centre
“We were looking for a Kubernetes distribution that is close to the upstream Kubernetes project and offers enterprise support. Canonical support is very qualified, effective and well structured.”
