Managed Kubernetes: benefits, limitations and selection criteria
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 and Compliance: Scope, Limitations and Sovereignty
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.
HDS migration: migrate your healthcare data with no perceptible downtime
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.

K3s vs K8s: What Are the Differences and Which One Should You Choose in 2026?
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.
Kubernetes vs Docker : Differences and When to Use Them
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?
