Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes
Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) is an Oracle-managed container orchestration service that can reduce the time and cost to build modern cloud native applications. Unlike most other vendors, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides Container Engine for Kubernetes as a free service that runs on higher-performance, lower-cost compute shapes. DevOps engineers can use unmodified, open source Kubernetes for application workload portability and to simplify operations with automatic updates and patching.

Highly available Kubernetes
Increase the availability of applications using clusters that span multiple availability domains (data centers) in any commercial region or in Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer.
No cluster management fee
Unlike Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes does not charge for cluster management.
DevOps automation
Streamline development and operations of Kubernetes clusters
Automate deployment of cloud native applications with Oracle Visual Builder Studio or any third-party tool. Monitor and secure these applications with tools from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Datadog, Aqua Security, and other partners.
Automatic Kubernetes upgrades
Easily and quickly upgrade container clusters, with zero downtime, to keep them up to date with the latest stable version of Kubernetes.
Self-healing cluster nodess
When it detects node failures, Container Engine for Kubernetes automatically provisions new worker nodes to maintain cluster availability.
Easy administration of worker nodes
Use the well-known, Docker-based container runtime for worker nodes, with full access via Secure Shell (SSH).
Portability and flexibility
Build apps that work across on-premises and other clouds
OKE uses unmodified open source Kubernetes that complies with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and Open Container Initiative (OCI) standards for application portability.
Flexibility to use any tool for cluster management
Bring your own tools, or take advantage of Oracle's partners for security, federation, observability, and build automation.
A comprehensive range of compute options
Optimize both cost and performance by choosing the most appropriate compute shapes from a wide range of bare metal, high-performance computing (HPC), and virtual machine options.
End-to-end container lifecycle management
Manage container lifecycles from start to finish. Build and test images with Visual Builder Studio, deploy from Registry, and integrate with Autonomous Database.
Performance and security
Better price-performance than other providers
When compared to AWS, Oracle Cloud provides more than 2x better compute price-performance and 20x the IOPS for half the price.
Tight integration with infrastructure, Autonomous Database, and Oracle WebLogic Server
Container Engine for Kubernetes easily integrates with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, Autonomous Database using the Service Broker, and WebLogic Server using the WebLogic Operator.
Encryption and compliance
Encrypt Kubernetes secrets at-rest using the Key Management service, and stay in compliance with HIPAA, PCI, and SOC 2.
Secure Kubernetes clusters with team access controls
Control access and permissions using native Identity and Access Management, Identity Cloud Service, and Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
Customer successes of Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes
Independent software vendors, research institutions, and other organizations use Container Engine to improve developer efficiency.
