Kubernetes Cluster

What are they used for?

Kubernetes clusters are environments designed for projects that require distributed and scalable applications based on containers.

They are particularly suitable for:

  • Data analysis and machine learning pipelines;
  • Complex web applications and distributed services;
  • Virtual laboratories for teaching.

Examples of use

  • Remote laboratories with hundreds or thousands of concurrent users (e.g., advanced teaching platforms)
  • Reproducible scientific workflows and interactive notebooks
  • AI/ML projects using tools such as Kubeflow

Kubernetes clusters are sized according to the project and provided as turnkey solutions; after deployment, administrative management remains the user’s responsibility, freeing them from managing the underlying infrastructure.
