Frequently Asked Questions about Sangfor Kubernetes Engine

What is the Sangfor Kubernetes Engine?

Sangfor Kubernetes Engine is an open-source platform that helps manage containerized applications and services. It uses automation and configuration tools to simplify the deployment and management of cloud-native workloads. The platform is scalable, portable, and designed for modern IT environments.

No, Sangfor Kubernetes Engine is not the same as Docker. Docker is a tool for creating and running containers, while Sangfor Kubernetes Engine is a full platform used to manage, scale, and automate containers. It supports Docker and other container runtimes like containerd and CRI-O.

The term “K8s” is a short form of “Kubernetes.” It replaces the eight letters between the “K” and “s” with the number 8. It’s a common way to shorten the name, especially in technical discussions and documentation.

CNI (Container Network Interface) is important in Sangfor Kubernetes Engine because it connects containers and pods over a virtual network. It allows smooth and secure communication between services by creating overlay or underlay networks, using technologies like VXLAN.

At Netmate Information Technology, we provide Sangfor Kubernetes Engine across the UAE and GCC countries, ensuring your business runs on a secure, scalable, and modern cloud infrastructure using the best in cloud-native technology.
