  • How Mercedes-Benz in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation Expanded Its Kubernetes Fleet Management with Cluster API to Public Clouds Challenge Mercedes-Benz is one of the most successful automotive companies in the world. As a 100% subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz, Tech Innovation GmbH creates digital products and software solutions in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz. Kubernetes is a crucial element of our technology stack and we have relied on it since version v0.9. However, since there was no existing Kubernetes fleet management solution available at the time of our adoption, we had to create our own solution. "We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to work closely with our colleagues from Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation for the last 7+ years. With confidence, we look forward to future prospects and further development within our Kubernetes environments. As our collaboration continues, we will expand the feature set for our customers, providing a more efficient and user-friendly experience." Thorsten Schenk-Trautmann, Product Owner CaaS, Mercedes-Benz Group AG Our organizations' Kubernetes fleet, running on a managed OpenStack based on-premises IaaS, had grown rapidly. We had been using a self-written Terraform pipeline to provision the infrastructure and Kubernetes clusters, but it had become overly complex and almost impossible to manage. Therefore, we needed a more streamlined solution. Additionally, we wanted to be better prepared for public cloud environments like AWS, as we were planning to offer a multi-cloud setup.
