Bitnami Kubernetes Production Runtime

Description

The Bitnami Kubernetes Production Runtime (BKPR) is a collection of services that makes it easy to run production workloads in Kubernetes.

Think of Bitnami Kubernetes Production Runtime as a curated collection of the services you would need to deploy on top of your Kubernetes cluster to enable logging, monitoring, certificate management, automatic discovery of Kubernetes resources via public DNS servers and other common infrastructure needs.

BKPR is available for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters.
