RackWare and GKE

RackWare and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) combine to deliver robust, enterprise-ready support for containerized applications in dynamic, hybrid environments. Whether you’re scaling microservices, executing cloud-native DR, or migrating container clusters across regions or platforms, RackWare’s RMM provides a unified solution for automation, control, and flexibility. 

Why RackWare For GKE

​

Deployable directly from the Google Cloud Marketplace, RackWare  integrates seamlessly with GKE, supporting agentless operations and Google-native services. With built-in support for Persistent Disks, Filestore, and Cloud Storage, RackWare ensures data integrity during migration and DR. Full compatibility with CSI drivers, including CSI Persistent Disk and CSI Filestore, enables dynamic provisioning across Kubernetes clusters. 

  

RackWare + GKE means: 

  • Platform-independent workload mobility across GKE and other K8s environments 

  • Intelligent failover, fallback, and sync for Kubernetes clusters 

  • Support for Google Cloud CSI drivers and persistent volumes 

  • Policy-based automation for cost, scale, and compliance 

How RackWare for GKE Works

​

RackWare RMM integrates with Kubernetes APIs and Google Cloud services to enable: 

​

Automated Cluster Mobility

Move containerized workloads across GKE clusters or into/out of GKE with no service interruption. Supports orchestrated transitions for StatefulSets, Persistent Volumes, ConfigMaps, and integrations with GKE Autopilot and Node Pools. 

​

Kubernetes-Native DR

Enable full or partial cluster failover with policy-controlled RPO/RTO, leveraging GKE multi-region capabilities and Cloud Load Balancing. 

 

Elastic Auto-Provisioning

Dynamically scale container resources across hybrid and multi-cloud GKE setups, optimizing for performance and cost using GKE Autopilot and Cloud Monitoring. 

 

Cross-Platform Container Sync

Replicate and recover workloads across diverse Kubernetes environments, with support for CSI Persistent Disk, CSI Filestore, and Workload Identity. 

​

Centralized Policy Engine

Enforce cost, governance, and scalability rules across all connected clusters using Stackdriver logging and Google Cloud's Operations Suite.

Faster Container Migrations 

Quickly move container-based applications across regions or cloud boundaries with minimal configuration and no re-platforming. 

  

​

Enterprise-Grade DR 

Maintain business continuity with zero-downtime failover and fallback for critical GKE workloads across zones or hybrid Kubernetes environments. 

  

​

Unified Multi-Cluster Management 

Simplify operations with a single control plane for all Kubernetes deployments, eliminating the need for disparate tools. 

  

​

Optimized GKE Economics 

Use intelligent provisioning and policy-based scaling to reduce idle resources and manage Google Cloud spend more effectively. 

  

​

Freedom from Lock-In 

Run your workloads anywhere. RackWare ensures GKE applications remain portable across container ecosystems, from on-prem to multi-cloud.
