Private Cloud Providers
Introduction
In Casibase, Private Cloud Providers act as a bridge, allowing you to connect to and manage various cloud-native resources, such as Docker and Kubernetes (K8s), directly from the Casibase interface. Their core objective is to provide a centralized dashboard for monitoring and operating your containerized services, integrating their management seamlessly into your Casibase workflow.
By configuring a provider, you enable Casibase to communicate with your private cloud or on-premises data center. This provides an ideal solution for organizations that want a unified interface to manage both their knowledge base and the infrastructure it runs on, enhancing operational efficiency and control.
Refer to the Core Concepts section of our previous documentation for more information about providers.
In Casibase, you can add a private cloud provider by following these steps:
Add a New Private Cloud Provider
Private cloud providers are used to integrate cloud-native management features into Casibase. You can add them by following these steps:
Click the Providers button on the page.
Add a Private Cloud Provider
Click the Add button to add a new private cloud provider.
Fill in Private Cloud Provider Details
Fill in the required configuration according to the cloud-native platform you use, then click the Save & Exit button to save.

📄️ Kubernetes Configuration
Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source container orchestration platform for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It has become the de facto standard for managing applications in modern, cloud-native environments. By providing a robust framework for running distributed systems resiliently, Kubernetes simplifies complex operational tasks.
Casibase supports several mainstream cloud-native technologies and platforms, including:
- Docker: To connect to a Docker host and manage the lifecycle of its containers (e.g., start, stop, view status) directly within Casibase.
- Kubernetes (K8s): To connect to a Kubernetes cluster and manage its resources, such as Pods and Deployments, providing a high-level orchestration view within Casibase.
Now, you can use this private cloud provider to monitor and manage services in your cloud-native environment.
After adding a private cloud provider, you can use Casibase as a control panel to oversee your containerized applications, simplifying management and providing a unified view of your services alongside your knowledge base.
