As a managed data plane service for containerized applications, Spot Ocean provides a severless experience for running containers in the cloud. Ocean integrates with the control plane of your choice, and handles key areas of infrastructure management, from provisioning compute and autoscaling, to pricing optimization and right-sizing. A core component of Ocean’s architecture is the Ocean controller, which is how Ocean and your Kubernetes cluster integrate and interact.

Spot by NetApp’s Ocean includes a powerful feature called “cluster roll.” This feature simplifies applying changes to Kubernetes worker nodes. Typical changes include applying a new image, modifying or adding user data, and updating security groups. A cluster roll applies these changes without having to disable the Ocean autoscaler. It also removes the need for you to manually attach new nodes or remove replaced nodes from the cluster.
