Kubernetes: Managed by Qovery vs. Self-Managed with Qovery (BYOK)

Qovery offers two approaches for managing Kubernetes: a fully managed service where Qovery handles all aspects of setup, maintenance, and operation, and a "Bring Your Own Kubernetes" (BYOK) model that integrates existing Kubernetes clusters with Qovery's features. The managed service is ideal for organizations seeking a hands-off approach, allowing developers to focus on deployment and application development, while the BYOK model offers greater control and customization for those with existing infrastructure and expertise. Both approaches provide a seamless developer experience, yet differ in terms of control and responsibility, with the managed service simplifying Kubernetes management and BYOK allowing for tailored configurations. Organizations can even utilize both models simultaneously to accommodate various project needs, offering flexibility in choosing between ease of use and control. The decision between these options depends on the organization's specific needs, expertise, and resources, with the ability to transition between models if desired.
