The SaaS-based management service from Platform9 will offer integration with the entire portfolio of OVH’s bare metal hardware.

At KubeCon, OVH today announced that Kubernetes orchestration software will be deployed on OVH dedicated servers through a partnership with Platform9.

“We are continuously trying to move to higher levels of abstractions with our applications”, says JAX DevOps speaker, Erwin van Eyk, software engineer at Platform9 and researcher at Delft University of Technology. We asked him to share his thoughts on serverless and the radical change in developers’ lives!

IT teams can use Kubernetes to deploy and manage containerized workloads across multiple clouds — but it’s not the best approach for everyone. Look at the benefits and implementation options.

The age of edge computing has finally dawned. The rapid developments in digital and mobile technologies have made edge computing increasingly more prevalent and more critical to the success of businesses across a wide range of industries.

In the previous article, Platform9 Kubernetes engineer Jay Vyas deep-dived into the constructs of Kubernetes storage, and what the different types of storage are good for. We discussed dynamic provisioning, Storage Classes and CSI external storage. In this article, we set up a simple, private sandbox — using MiniKube — where we can observe and hack on the inner-workings of Kubernetes storage.

In this two-part article, Platform9 Kubernetes engineer Jay Vyas introduces the key concepts and components in the Kubernetes storage architecture, to build up a conceptual storage model which is technology agnostic. In the next part of this series, to run on Wednesday, we’ll turn to see how we can observe the inner-workings of Kubernetes storage and tweak those in a sandbox environment, using minikube.

“With Ironic, the time to provision bare metal servers is orders of magnitude faster, from weeks or months to just under 20 minutes.”
