DOKS for Enterprise

DOKS has matured significantly and supports enterprise production workloads. Key capabilities: OIDC SSO, private clusters, HA control plane (free at every tier), RBAC, VPC isolation, SOC 2 compliance. Cost-effective for enterprises running multiple clusters across environments.

Free HA Control Plane: Multi-zone, included at every tier. OIDC SSO: Any standard IdP (Okta, Azure AD, Keycloak). Eliminates static token management. RBAC + IAM: Two-layer authorization. Private Clusters: No public IPs on workers. All traffic over VPC. VPC Isolation: Cross-VPC peering for multi-service architectures. Node Pools: Multiple pools with different instance types, taints/tolerations.

Compliance: SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS Level 1, GDPR. Security: Automatic security updates, CIS Benchmarks, Cilium network policies, node remediation (preview). Operations: Automatic upgrades, cluster autoscaler, etcd backups, Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, integration with Datadog and New Relic. Disaster Recovery: Multi-region strategy with Velero backup/restore. Global load balancers for cross-region routing.
