Secure & Scalable Kubernetes for Private Deployments
Deploy fully isolated private Kubernetes clusters for containerized applications with uncompromised security, flexibility, and automation.
Onemind's Private Kubernetes Clusters
With OneMind’s Managed Kubernetes Services, businesses gain access to a fully managed, enterprise-ready Kubernetes environment—without the complexity. We handle the operational heavy lifting, so teams can focus on building, shipping, and scaling applications. From workload orchestration to seamless integration with your CI/CD pipelines, everything is designed for efficiency, speed, and reliability.
For organizations with stricter compliance or security requirements, we offer Private Kubernetes Clusters. These clusters operate entirely within a private network—no public access points—ensuring internal traffic stays secure and isolated. This setup offers all the flexibility of Kubernetes, with the control and privacy your infrastructure demands.
Whether you’re running apps at the edge, in a hybrid cloud, or fully virtualized, OneMind makes Kubernetes work the way it should: scalable, secure, and fully managed.

Key features of Private Kubernetes Clusters
- Network Isolation : Ensures that nodes and pods communicate over internal networks, enhancing security.
- Restricted API Access : Limits API server accessibility to within the private network, often secured via VPNs or bastion hosts.
- Enhanced Security : Reduces exposure to external threats by isolating cluster components from the public internet.
- Compliance Alignment : Meets stringent security and compliance requirements by controlling access and data flow within the cluster.
- Customizable Networking : Allows for tailored network configurations to meet specific organizational policies and performance needs.
- Integrated Monitoring and Logging : Facilitates comprehensive tracking of cluster activities to ensure operational integrity and security.
Implementing Kubernetes Clusters
To deploy a Kubernetes cluster, consider the following steps:
1. Cluster Deployment
Utilize tools like kubeadm or managed Kubernetes services that support private cluster configurations.
2. Networking Configuration
Set up network policies to control traffic flow between pods and services, ensuring that only authorized communications occur.
3. Access Control
Implement VPNs or bastion hosts to manage secure access to the cluster's API server.
4. Service Exposure
Configure services for access needs: ClusterIP (internal), NodePort (external via node port), and LoadBalancer (external via cloud load balancer).
5. Persistent Storage
Implement Persistent Volumes (PV) and Persistent Volume Claims (PVC) for data retention across pod restarts. Kubernetes supports automatic configuration of NFS volume provisioners.
6. DNS Configuration
Ensure proper DNS setup for internal service discovery using tools like CoreDNS for efficient internal DNS resolution.
7. Monitoring and Logging
Integrate solutions like Prometheus for monitoring and the ELK Stack for logging to track cluster performance and security events.
8. Regular Updates and Patching
Apply regular updates and patches to Kubernetes components and underlying infrastructure to protect against vulnerabilities.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Private Kubernetes clusters offer enhanced security by isolating cluster components from the public internet, reducing potential attack surfaces. They also provide better compliance alignment by controlling access and data flow within the cluster.
Access to the API server in a private Kubernetes cluster is typically managed through secure methods such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) or bastion hosts, ensuring that only authorized personnel can interact with the cluster.
Implementing network policies to control traffic between pods and services is essential. Utilizing tools like Weave CNI plugin can enable internal networking, and CoreDNS can serve as the internal DNS for service discovery.
Persistent data in private Kubernetes clusters is managed using Persistent Volumes (PV) and Persistent Volume Claims (PVC). The platform supports automatic configuration of NFS storage provisioners, facilitating dynamic volume provisioning.
Yes, services can be exposed externally by configuring the appropriate service types such as NodePort or LoadBalancer. However, it's crucial to implement proper security measures to control access.
Security considerations include implementing strict network policies, regular auditing, monitoring and logging, and ensuring that access to the API server is tightly controlled through secure methods.
