What is K-PaaS?
K-PaaS refers to the open cloud platform standard model (K-PaaS standard model, open source)
and cloud platform services and solutions certified for K-PaaS suitability.
To ensure interoperability and operability between cloud platforms, K-PaaS is supported by
the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Intelligence Information Society Promotion Agency, focusing on the Open Cloud Platform Alliance (OPA), a public-private consultative body, and is verifying compatibility and conformity through K-PaaS test certification.
Currently, there are 235 domestic K-PaaS public and private applications for 18 private K-PaaS certified for Conformity.

Features
Expected Effects
-
- Efficient Utilization
of Hardware Resources
- By maximizing
the utilization of hardware resources
based on containers,
IT costs are reduced.
-
- Rapid Provision
of Software Resources
- Automating the installation
and configuration of standardized hardware
and software within minutes enables
rapid development and
testing of application software.
-
- Effortless
SW Maintenance
- It is possible to operate the system
stably while maintaining
service levels with a small number
of system operators.
-
- Stable
System Operation
- Without requiring separate
solutions for high availability,
it automatically ensures high availability
at both the hardware and software levels.
-
- Ensuring
Cloud Mobility
- Supports various IaaS platforms
and enables standardized
application software management
through containers.
Authentication
To confirm that the K-PaaS standard model complies with Kubernetes environmental standards and can provide services reliably, it has obtained Kubernetes certification (CK, Certified Kubernetes) from the CNCF*, an internationally recognized Kubernetes authority (September 10, 2024). * Cloud Native Computing Foundation

Release Information
-
- K-PaaS 20252025-01-31
-
- The container platform has been upgraded based on Kubernetes version 1.30.4 and KubeEdge version 1.14.2, and these versions have obtained Certified Kubernetes certification..
- Includes multi-cloud deployment packages with domestic cloud service providers, and the services offered enable extensive network expansion based on MSA through Service Mesh. (Multi-cloud deployment is possible via Kubernetes Services from three CSPs.)
- We provide an open-source sample that enables sample deployment using Service Mesh and allows multiple deployment clusters to be used as a single cluster through Federation.
- Through OpenTofu, you can easily create, manage, and monitor additional clusters from the portal. You can also add clusters using various domestic CSPs by adding supported providers.
- The Helm Catalog feature enables the creation of various services through the portal, and the application of Chaos Engine allows for multiple forms of operational testing on applications..
