Kubermatic, a multi-cloud and edge
Kubernetes automation software company that powers IT operations at scale,
released KubeCarrier - a new open source cloud native Service Management
Hub. With KubeCarrier, platform operators can automate the provisioning and
entire lifecycle management of services, applications, and API-accessible
hardware devices by leveraging Kubernetes Operators.
Operators
extend the power of Kubernetes to a wide range of applications, serve as
templates for automating application management, and improve scalability and
repeatability - critical for deploying stateful applications in a truly cloud
native way. However, as enterprise cloud native adoption accelerates,
organizations are confronted with the complexities of service management across
multiple clusters, clouds, and regions, and struggle with enterprise-grade
compliance and the operational burden involved.
KubeCarrier
addresses these complexities by harnessing the Kubernetes API and Operators
into a central framework allowing enterprises and service providers to deliver
cloud native service management from one multi-cloud, multi-cluster hub. With
KubeCarrier, internal or external customers can immediately deploy the cloud
native software and services they need, including databases, data stores,
monitoring, service meshes, and other Kubernetes tooling.
One
Central Hub for Cloud Native Service Management and Service Store
KubeCarrier
scales up to thousands of Kubernetes clusters to deploy and manage tens of
thousands of applications, functions, and resources across multiple clouds and
regions. As environments grow, it ensures scalability and repeatability by

platform. KubeCarrier is licensed under the Apache 2.0 License and
