Mirantis, the pure-play OpenStack company, and CoreOS today announced the integration of
Mirantis OpenStack, the OpenStack distribution that is easy to install and operate at scale, with
Tectonic,
the first commercial platform for Kubernetes 1.0. The joint effort
brings enterprise-grade support and manageability to companies looking
to combine the agility of OpenStack with the portability of Kubernetes
and container technologies.
"Mirantis and CoreOS share a vision of helping DevOps teams create
better software faster. Putting Kubernetes on top of OpenStack gives
them flexibility in how they build their applications, letting them
innovate quickly," said Mirantis CMO and co-founder, Boris Renski. "We
are thrilled to be working with Google and CoreOS, and look forward to
hearing more from them about how enterprises can leverage containers
with OpenStack at
OpenStack Silicon Valley."
"OpenStack is quickly becoming the preferred open source cloud platform
for a range of technologies -- VMs, containers, bare metal and whatever
comes next. Project contributors like CoreOS, Mirantis and Google are
helping the community offer enterprises a cohesive open source cloud
solution powered by OpenStack," said Jonathan Bryce, executive director
of the OpenStack Foundation.
Kubernetes is an open source system for managing Google-scale
containerized applications across multiple hosts, providing basic
mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications. It
is lightweight, portable, extensible and self-healing. CoreOS' Tectonic
combines Kubernetes and the CoreOS software portfolio in an integrated
package, including a management console for workflows and dashboards, an
integrated registry to build and share Linux containers, and additional
tools to automate deployment and customize rolling updates. Tectonic
runs on-premises or in public clouds.
"Now that Kubernetes is production-ready, companies using Tectonic and
Mirantis OpenStack can have a Google-like infrastructure at their
fingertips," said CoreOS CEO, Alex Polvi. "Mirantis possesses a deep
understanding of open source software and their commitment to the open
source ecosystem around OpenStack is second to none. It was natural to
work with Mirantis to help customers see the benefits of Kubernetes on
OpenStack."
CoreOS' Tectonic, as a platform for OpenStack-based container
management, will provide enterprise-grade support, ensuring stability
from the infrastructure layer all the way to the container.
