Carbon Relay today launched Red Sky Ops, an open
source and enterprise AIOps platform for organizations using Kubernetes to
deploy, scale and manage containerized applications. With Red Sky Ops, DevOps
teams can manage hundreds of interrelated application variables and unique
configurations that have millions of potential combinations to automatically
identify and implement the optimal settings for each application, on-premise or
in any cloud environment.
Red Sky Ops expands Carbon Relay's product line using the same Red Sky
platform as the company's first product, Red Sky Energy. Launched in January, Red Sky Energy
enables data center operators to reduce their facilities' energy consumption to
drive down costs and carbon emissions.
Red Sky Ops is the first AIOps solution for application management in
Kubernetes environments that enhances application performance, reduces
infrastructure costs and dramatically reduces the number of time-consuming
alerts sent to DevOps teams. Red Sky Ops achieves this by using machine
learning to study, replicate and stress-test application environments, and then
proactively learn optimal configurations, schedules and resource allocations.
It also works with the Kubernetes scheduler to take into account service
requirements, policy constraints around hardware or software use,
workload-specific issues and deadlines-all with minimal engineering
involvement.
"Thousands of organizations have already committed to Kubernetes, but
their developers, DevOps and NetOps teams struggle with the complexity of
ensuring reliable and optimal application performance without over-provisioning
infrastructure resources," said Matt Provo, co-founder and CEO of Carbon
Relay. "The result is excessive operational cost and business and
reputational risk from downtime caused by misconfigured apps. Red Sky Ops is
the only solution to automatically learn, determine, implement and maintain
optimal configurations and intelligently schedule and place resources in
Kubernetes environments."
Also today, Carbon Relay announced it has joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to
support the Kubernetes community and commercial use of cloud native
technologies.
Break Through the Kubernetes Complexity Barrier
Until now, managing and maintaining consistent and high application
performance and reliability in Kubernetes environments has proven to be
complicated and difficult. First-generation AIOps management tools are too
imprecise and not automated, often missing opportunities for big performance
gains and generating too many alerts. Red Sky Ops provides an intelligent and
automated way to address Kubernetes and container complexity, boosting
application performance, reducing costs and stopping alert floods for DevOps
teams.
Cut Costs with Automated Optimization
Red Sky Ops uses machine learning to drive major application performance
gains and cost reductions in complex Kubernetes application environments. It
proactively assesses all relevant factors to determine the best set of
deployment choices and then automatically implement them, and recalculates
on-the-fly to maintain top performance as conditions change.
The result is the highest and most reliable performance possible at the
lowest costs, all without the constant inundation of unnecessary alerts. With
Red Sky Ops, organizations can increase operational performance by up to 50
percent while reducing operational costs associated with application management
by up to 30 percent.
Carbon Relay is releasing Red Sky Ops as open source under the Apache v2
license. It includes the Red Sky Ops Kubernetes load balancer, controller, API
services and authentication services. More information is available on GitHub or at Carbon Relay.
