Solution 2: Deploying Magento 2 on Kubernetes

Magento is one of the most powerful e-commerce systems available. The modular design and extensive set of integrated features, make it easy to customize your e-commerce website. After building a marketplace on Magento 2, it is important to maintain a high customer base without affecting the performance of the website.

Ksolves provided a solution to one of its clients, and that is to run Magento on Kubernetes.

An eCommerce platform is more than just code. Magento requires PHP, Varnish, MySQL, Redis, ElasticSearch, and a few more things. All services must be fine-tuned in terms of size and performance.

When the traffic increases on the website, the performance and load time affects the most. If you need a smooth solution to auto-scale your Magento website, you can take the Ksolves Kubernetes deployment service.

In the upcoming section, we have discussed the business benefits of Kubernetes deployments for your online store.

Business Benefits of Running Magento in Kubernetes

First, a quick introduction to Kubernetes:

Kubernetes is an open-source system for managing containerized applications or containers. A container is considered an LVM (lightweight virtual machine).

To create an application, you must first create several containers and then use Kubernetes to monitor those containers.

The benefit of running Magento 2 on Kubernetes is that it can automatically build and expand containers to manage storage based on the requirements.

Ksolves deploy Magento 2 Multi-Vendor Marketplace on Kubernetes for various purposes listed below:

• Auto-Scaling Website Based on Workload

If you are designing a solution for infrastructure and virtual machines (VMs), Kubernetes could be a better option. Kubernetes optimize resource usage and automatically scale up and down container based on the demand.

It suggests that your website load will be managed based on the daily traffic. Kubernetes will increase and decrease the containers based on the user volume on your Magento store.

Note: For having a scalable Magento Kubernetes environment, you can consult with Ksolves Magento experts.

• A Cost-effective Solution

The cost of maintaining applications deployed on Kubernetes clusters is incredibly low. Once the cluster is up and running, you should assume your applications to function with little downtime and excellent performance.

Kubernetes’ cost-cutting technique (based on machine learning and real-time monitoring of computer resources) ensures that your applications utilize only the resources (CPU and memory) they require.

• Run Your Application More Consistently

Running Magento 2 instance on Kubernetes ensures that your application is always up and functioning. It enables you to modify your software without downtime by using rolling updates.

It is also feasible to configure Kubernetes to handle high-availability applications. Moreover, if you use public cloud services, you can achieve extremely high uptime. Thus, the performance of your application would not affect much.

There are many other benefits of running your website on Kubernetes. To get more details about the same, consult with Ksolves experts today.
