Applicable Industries	Software
Applicable Functions	Discrete Manufacturing Product Research & Development
Use Cases	Cybersecurity Remote Collaboration
Services	Cloud Planning, Design & Implementation Services Cybersecurity Services
Challenge	Replicated, an infrastructure software company, needed a development environment that runs on Kubernetes, as their product, Kubernetes Off-The-Shelf (KOTS) Software, runs in Kubernetes and manages the lifecycle of 3rd-party applications in the Kubernetes cluster. As their engineering team expanded to include dedicated front end engineers and other specialists, managing a local environment became a burden. They needed a solution that would simplify the process and maintain developer productivity. They were looking for a solution that would be simple to implement and maintain. Read More
About Customer	Replicated is an infrastructure software company founded in 2014. They focus on enabling a new model of enterprise software delivery called Kubernetes Off-The-Shelf (KOTS) Software. Their goal is to make it easy for users to install and operate third party software, so that sending data to multi-tenant SaaS providers isn’t the only way to use those providers’ services. The company has grown to include dedicated front end engineers and other specialists who need access to a development environment that runs on Kubernetes. Read More
Solution	Replicated turned to Cloudflare for a solution. They designed a solution that uses cloud-based infrastructure components, accessed and secured with Cloudflare Access and Argo Tunnel, to move their development environment to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) resources. This means that their entire development environment is in the cloud. They’ve reduced the amount of time that a developer spends troubleshooting their local environment, allowing every engineer on the team to maintain a full stack development environment — even if they are without deep Kubernetes expertise. With Cloudflare Access, Replicated’s developers can easily set up multiple environments and they don’t need the biggest and most powerful laptops to do so. Read More Log in to view content
