Business Intelligence Group announces winners of the 2018 Stratus Awards for Cloud Computing. Platform9 wins as a leader in the “hybrid cloud provider” category.

Fission is an open-source Functions-as-a-Service serverless framework for Kubernetes designed by Platform 9, a hybrid cloud and container orchestration provider. Fission was built as an alternative to AWS Lambda.

The project was created at Platform9 to help make their customers more productive on the very first day they installed their own Kubernetes cluster. “You can build functions the same way you do, for example, on AWS Lambda, but you can run them anywhere on any Kubernetes cluster,” said Vasani.

To gather insights on the current and future state of containers, Dzone asked 26 industry executives and experts for their take, among them Sirish Raghuram, CEO and Co-founder of Platform9.

While at ServerlessConf in San Francisco, The New Stack live-streamed their interview with our very own Soam Vasani.
