Fundamentally, ElasticKube delivers a web console for which compliments Kubernetes for users managing their clusters. The initial experience incorporates team collaboration, lifecycle management and reporting, so organizations can efficiently manage resources in a predictable manner. Users will see an ElasticKube portal that takes advantage of the infrastructure abstraction that enables users to run a container that has already been built. With ElasticKube assuming the cluster has been deployed, the overwhelming value is to provide visibility into who did what and define permissions for access to the cluster with multiple containers running on them. Secondly, by partitioning clusters into namespaces, authorization management is more effective. Finally, by empowering users to build a set of reusable templates in a modern portal, ElasticKube provides a vehicle for delivering a self-service template catalog that can be stored in GitHub (for instance, using Helm templates) and deployed easily.

ElasticKube enables organizations to accelerate adoption by developers, application operations and traditional IT operations teams and shares a mutual goal of increasing developer productivity, driving efficiency in container management and promoting the use of microservices as a modern application delivery methodology. When leveraging ElasticKube in your environment, users need to ensure the following technologies are configured appropriately to guarantee everything runs correctly:

- Configure Google Container Engine (GKE) for cluster installation and management
- Use Kubernetes to provision the infrastructure and clusters for containers  
- Use your existing tools of choice to actually build your containers
- Use ElasticKube to run, deploy and manage your containers and services
