Intermax Kubernetes Service
sovereign and compliant by design.

If your data must stay in the Netherlands, by regulation, by policy, or by choice, IKS is built for that.

What's included

Platform capabilities, built in

Every IKS cluster comes with the Guida Kubernetes Stack, plus native Intermax cloud integrations for storage, networking, and security.

Auto-scaling

Pod autoscaling and cluster node autoscaling. IKS scales with your workload automatically, up and down.

Load Balancing

Native Intermax cloud load balancer integrated with your cluster, distributing traffic automatically across healthy pods.

Object Storage

S3-compatible object storage directly accessible from your workloads, ideal for assets, backups, and data lakes.

Block Storage

Persistent block volumes for stateful workloads such as Databases or Message Queues.

Shared Storage

NFS-based shared storage for workloads that need ReadWriteMany volumes.

Security

CIS-hardened clusters, zero trust network policies, and encrypted data at rest and in transit.

GitOps

FluxCD continuous delivery pre-configured and integrated with your IKS cluster from day one.

Observability

Prometheus and Grafana pre-configured for cluster and workload metrics, dashboards, and alerting.

Backup

Automated cluster backups for disaster recovery.

Ecosystem integrations

Intermax platform services.

IKS runs inside the Intermax cloud. Your Kubernetes workloads connect directly to managed services without traffic leaving the Intermax network.

Managed Detection & Response

Intermax MDR monitors your infrastructure and cluster activity for threats. Anomalies trigger alerts and human-reviewed response.

Managed Virtual Machines

Run workloads that aren't containerized yet alongside your IKS clusters on Intermax's managed VM platform.

Managed Databases

PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MSSQL, managed by Intermax. Connect from IKS over the private network.

Managed Valkey

Managed Valkey (Redis-compatible) for caching, queuing, and session storage.

Managed RabbitMQ

Managed RabbitMQ message broker, accessible from IKS over the private network.

Managed Container Registry

A private container registry hosted inside the Intermax network. Push and pull images directly from your IKS clusters.

Sovereign cloud

Your data stays
in the Netherlands.

IKS runs on Intermax infrastructure in three redundant Dutch datacenters. All customer application data is processed and stored under Dutch legislation.

  • 100% NL: shareholders, staff, and infrastructure
  • Compliant with ISO 27001, AVG/GDPR
  • Haven-compliant for Dutch government organisations
  • Private and authorized networking: no public cloud exposure
  • Predictable costs
