Kubernetes (short: K8s) is a widely used open-source system for managing containerized applications. Our Kubernetes tool firstkube helps you manage your Kubernetes environments efficiently, securely, and conveniently.
Does your software development team already use a container-based deployment model for application development, or would you like to do so in the future? Then our firstkube platform is exactly the right Kubernetes tool for you.
Users have very different needs when it comes to Kubernetes. firstcolo meets you exactly where you are and provides you with the best possible support with firstkube. As a firstkube user, you access all the services required to install and manage Kubernetes clusters centrally via a graphical user interface (GUI).
Easy updates for clusters or services, which can be carried out centrally in the interface with just a few clicks, are easy to perform independently and intuitively. Hybrid and multi-cloud concepts are also easy to manage via a central administration interface, and clusters can be provisioned both in firstcloud and with various cloud providers. In addition, firstkube enables dynamic resource adjustment through horizontal and vertical scaling as demand increases or decreases.
You can find the detailed description and further technical documentation, including best practices for firstkube, the Kubernetes tool, here →.


From SaaS to MACH: firstkube supports organizations that want to implement cloud-native applications pragmatically – even with limited staffing resources.
firstkube brings together multiple IT systems in a central web interface, regardless of the respective deployment model. This gives SaaS providers simple deployment, automation, and multicloud orchestration in a single tool.
firstkube is ideal for users who rely on a modern, clustered MACH architecture (microservices, API-first, cloud-native, headless).
firstkube is also ideally suited for so-called “container starters” who want to begin containerization as quickly as possible but do not have the expertise or capacity for the initial setup and maintenance of the underlying Kubernetes infrastructure.
firstkube offers three models: Core, Advanced, and Enterprise. With firstkube Core, you get direct access to the management and deployment of your clusters. The Advanced version also takes care of the entire setup and management for you, with 24/7 support and global deployment. The Enterprise package includes all features of the other models, supplemented by the highest security standards and comprehensive consulting.
Whether you are a container starter or an experienced SaaS provider: firstkube will impress you with its intuitive usability and easy deployments thanks to cluster technology. You can also read more about Kubernetes here: Kubernetes: Revolution in enterprise IT?
Multiple storage technologies; storage can be configured without limits.
Can be used with just one node or with a large number of cluster nodes.
Advanced network configurations and multi-tenancy can be managed in clusters thanks to SDN.
Central control thanks to a web-based interface. CLI and REST APIs for convenient task automation.
Implement cluster templates and managed monitoring directly with one click, with no preparation required.
Easy scheduling and triggering of backup jobs via the web interface or the command line.

Kubernetes (Ancient Greek for “helmsman”) is an open-source orchestration system. It enables the automated placement of containers and serves as a platform for deploying and operating various applications within these containers.

Containers are essentially “containers.” In such a container, an application, including all dependencies, can be stored in isolation. The result is a so-called container image, which contains the application in full while keeping the size to a minimum.
Containers require fewer compute resources than traditional virtual machines and ensure that applications are far more independent of the underlying environment.
firstkube connects your existing Kubernetes clusters at the public cloud provider of your choice with our first-class private cloud offerings. This allows you to benefit from the scalability and flexibility of the public cloud, as well as the security and unrestricted performance of the private cloud.
