Benefits at a Glance
Security Operations Center
We act on alerts from the intrusion detection system, mitigate vulnerabilities, apply security patches, handle security hardening, and perform disaster recovery if necessary. Learn more here.
Business Continuity
To improve resilience, we leverage one cloud to run your workload and a secondary cloud to store replicas of your backups, enabling quick recovery on the secondary cloud in case of a disaster. Learn more here.
Make Security Easier
We make it easy for your application developers to do the right thing when it comes to security by implementing clear demarcation lines and policy as code in our service.
Audibility
We provide you with the relevant documentation and audit logs to prove to your auditors that you comply with NIS2 implementations (SE: MSBFS, DE: KRITIS), GDPR and security standards such as ISO-27001 and NIST.
Positive ROI
Reduce time to production in your cloud native journey. Autoscale resources (preview feature on supported clouds) and get a 24/7 Security Operations Center at a fraction of the cost compared to hiring

Testimonials
"Building Kubernetes is easy, maintaining it is hard. Keeping a platform secure and compliant with 24/7 support, even more so. This is why we went for Elastisys: to focus on the applications that bring value to our customers."
"It is extremely valuable for us to have Elastisys support and help/advice available at (almost) all times! Always having an expert at hand that can give us directions on how to manage our K8s resources has been amazing. When we run into issues, we simply send a Slack message and after a couple of minutes we have a pointer that usually helps us accomplish what we need."
"Elastisys is an important, strategic partner that gives us a flexible, robust and secure platform that makes it possible for us to scale as we grow. Having access to Elastisys' experts is a huge asset."
"The safety of having an on-going dialogue with your service provider and getting help whenever you need to is in-valuable."
"We chose to move our application from Google Cloud to Elastisys Managed Services in order to fulfill our customer requirements on topics such as data privacy and security. This has enabled us to attract investment and is key in public procurements in the healthcare market segment."
"At Humly, one of our top priorities is to secure our users' personal data. The team and platform at Elastisys are key to ensuring that this is achieved. Kubernetes is powerful but can easily become complex, and having a local, knowledgeable, and highly responsive partner, along with a group of experts, ensures that we can focus on the application level. This choice is a no-brainer."

FAQ
It is very easy to get started! You have two options. You can explore Welkin on your own with the open source version by following our installation guides over at the Welkin documentation site. Or you can get started with Welkin as a fully-managed service on any of our supported infrastructure providers.
Elastisys offers consulting services within Kubernetes, DevOps, and DevSecOps. Read about our team-based consulting philosophy. We can strengthen your team and reduce your time to market. Contact Sales today and set up an entirely commitment-free consultation meeting.
The Elastisys Kubernetes Platform is a managed service, based on the Welkin software distribution. Welkin is a Certified Kubernetes distribution. That means that any tools or software that assume a working Kubernetes cluster will operate without issue on the platform. So if you can deploy to Kubernetes, you can rest assured that you can deploy to Elastisys Kubernetes Platform. That said, we do take a stronger security stance by default than Kubernetes itself, which will disallow certain insecure configurations and deployments. Please read the documentation for Welkin that discusses these restrictions for detailed information.
Our standard mutual termination period is 2 months, which can be changed up and down depending on customer preferences.
They are listed in our website’s footer, but you can reach them here as well: Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
The various components in Elastisys Welkin are chosen as the best that the open source community has to offer. The vast majority (but not all) of the components are Apache 2 licensed. However, Elastisys confirms that Welkin and its Additional Managed Services (AMS) are NOT putting application developers (our customers) in a situation which obliges them to make their software or source code running on Welkin available to the public.
Should we at Elastisys become aware of such an issue existing, we will immediately rectify the situation by replacing problematic components. You can read more about how we take architectural decisions here.
We decided to name our Redis service “Ephemeral Redis” so that it’s not mixed up with a Redis offering including persistent storage. Our Ephemeral Redis service is purely meant for caching purposes and if you require data to be stored persistently we recommend our managed PostgreSQL service instead.
