Mirantis, the open cloud infrastructure company, announced the
availability of its Kubernetes-as-a-Service (KaaS) beta release this morning at
KubeCon North America. The continuously-updated K8s platform enables
developers to create and manage Kubernetes clusters on demand through APIs or
UI and eliminates the burden of managing a full stack of K8s components.
"Kubernetes is creating the new way for enterprises to build and run
software as they move to cloud. However, lifecycle management for a fleet of
Kubernetes clusters with full stack support is an unsolved challenge," said
Dave Van Everen, SVP Marketing, Mirantis. "With Mirantis KaaS, enterprises get
zero touch, self-service Kubernetes clusters with a consistent developer
experience across public clouds and on-prem infrastructure."
At the heart of Mirantis KaaS is an automated lifecycle management
service. It enables continuous, automated updates of the Kubernetes stack and
related components, without impacting workloads. Moreover, end users can decide
when they'd like to upgrade their self-service clusters. Mirantis KaaS deploys
clusters in an HA configuration by default and utilizes built-in K8s features
for rolling updates; therefore applications running on Mirantis KaaS will not
experience downtime during an upgrade.
With Mirantis
KaaS enterprises can now:
- Consume K8s as a service on any
public clouds and on-prem, in either multi cloud or hybrid
configuration
- Create a consistent developer
experience on any public cloud or on-prem infrastructure, with appropriate
enterprise security and governance
- Enable application portability
from one cloud to another and on-prem
- Dramatically reduce the burden
and cost of operating a large fleet of K8s clusters
The Mirantis KaaS
beta release supports:
- Bare Metal
- Public Cloud
- Private Cloud
Mirantis KaaS will be generally available in early 2020. The beta
software is available for download here: https://www.mirantis.com/kaas
