Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)
Fully managed Kubernetes service for running containerized applications on AWS and on-premises
Banzai Pipeline
Enterprise platform for secure, multi-cloud Kubernetes application delivery
Pipeline lets enterprises provision HA Kubernetes clusters, integrate services, and run CI/CD across multi-cloud environments with BYOK and a free preview.
Overview
Overview
Pipeline is an application platform that enables enterprises to provision highly‑available Kubernetes clusters on any major cloud provider, on‑premise hardware, or hybrid configurations. It supports Amazon, Google, Microsoft Azure, VMware, and BYOK (Bring Your Own Kubernetes) for managing existing clusters.
Capabilities
The platform bundles automated cluster services such as DNS, observability, private registries, security scanning, and disaster‑recovery. Its built‑in container‑native CI/CD engine turns code commits into scaled workloads within minutes. Documentation, OpenAPI 3.0 specifications, generated Go clients, and a Postman collection help teams adopt the platform quickly. A free developer preview is available for evaluation without any licensing cost.
Pipeline is suited for organizations that need consistent deployment pipelines across diverse cloud environments while retaining control over security and operational policies.
Highlights
Provision HA Kubernetes clusters on cloud, on‑prem, or hybrid
Built‑in container‑native CI/CD from commit to scale
Integrated services: DNS, observability, private registries, security scans, DR
Multi‑cloud flexibility with BYOK and four hybrid deployment models
Pros
- Supports all major cloud providers and on‑prem environments
- Extensible automated services reduce operational overhead
- Native CI/CD accelerates delivery cycles
- Apache‑2.0 license encourages community contributions
Considerations
- Steeper learning curve for complex hybrid setups
- Requires Kubernetes expertise to manage clusters effectively
- Enterprise features may need additional configuration effort
- Language client generation currently limited to Go

Fit guide
Great for
- Enterprises needing consistent deployment across multiple clouds
- Teams that want integrated CI/CD without separate tooling
- Organizations with existing Kubernetes clusters seeking centralized management
- Developers building microservices that require built‑in observability and security
Not ideal when
- Small projects without multi‑cloud requirements
- Teams lacking Kubernetes expertise
- Use cases demanding extensive SDKs beyond Go
- Organizations preferring fully managed SaaS without self‑hosting
How teams use it
Hybrid Cloud Migration
Seamlessly move workloads between AWS, GCP, and on‑prem clusters while maintaining consistent policies and observability.
Continuous Delivery Pipeline
Automate build, test, and rollout of containerized services directly from code commits, scaling pods in minutes.
Secure Multi‑Tenant Platform
Provision isolated Kubernetes clusters per tenant with integrated security scans and private registries.
Disaster Recovery Setup
Configure cross‑region backups and automated failover using Pipeline's DR integrations.
