A managed Kubernetes service is an offering in which the cloud provider manages the Kubernetes control plane on the user’s behalf. Provisioning, updates, availability and certificate rotation are handled by the provider. The user retains control over their workloads and node pools but does not administer the cluster’s critical infrastructure.

HDS certification attests to the security of health data hosting; it is not intended to provide immunity from extraterritorial laws such as the Cloud Act or FISA. Using a certified hosting provider does not, moreover, make an organisation “HDS compliant”: the certification status remains with the hosting provider, while some obligations continue to rest with the client.

An HDS migration consists of transferring an application and its healthcare data from one hosting provider to another while maintaining the required certification and service continuity. When properly planned and executed, the perceived interruption can be reduced to a simple DNS switch. For example, when Madietenligne, a provider of an e-health solution for dietitians, migrated to Clever Cloud, its test and production environments were moved in less than fifteen days, covering 500 GB of data, with no downtime perceived by users.

Kubernetes has become the standard for container orchestration. But depending on your infrastructure constraints (limited resources, edge computing, IoT, or large-scale enterprise clusters), the distribution you choose can radically change the operational experience. K3s and K8s (upstream Kubernetes) address different needs, even though both share the same CNCF-certified foundation.

When people start exploring cloud-native technologies, one confusion comes up almost every time: are Docker and Kubernetes competitors? Do you have to choose between them? And why do people so often talk about Docker “with” Kubernetes?

European organisations are managing increasingly heterogeneous environments: legacy applications, cloud-native services, multi-cloud setups and regulatory constraints are accumulating within information systems rarely designed to handle such diversity.

Public services are engaged in an ongoing digital transformation, driven by increasing user expectations, service continuity requirements, and growing security needs.

The digital transformation of the public sector is accelerating: online services, business applications, document management systems, health data, and collaborative tools.

Clever Cloud’s UP Program supports young tech companies that are transforming key sectors through digital innovation.

Clever Cloud is participating in the Fabrique IA Territoriale (“Territorial AI Factory”) initiated by Gigalis to support public sector actors with a sovereign and secure cloud, relying on interoperable, reliable open source technologies tailored to territorial needs.

HDS compliance is not just a token of seriousness; it's an essential prerequisite for all companies handling healthcare data.
