Managed Kubernetes - Responsibility model	Shared responsibilities between OVHcloud and the customer	2023-07-06

The RACI below details shared responsibilities between OVHcloud and the customer for the Managed Kubernetes service. This shared model can help relieve the customer’s operational burden.

RACI definition

Roles
R: Is in charge of carrying out the process
A: Accountable for the successful completion of the process
C: Is consulted during the process
I: Is informed of the results of the process
