Platform9 in the News

Positioned as an open source alternative to AWS Lambda, Platform9’s Fission uses containers and Kubernetes to underpin its event-based function-as-a-service framework. New features include testing enhancements, automated canary deployments, Prometheus integration and the ability to trade off cost vs. performance with pre-warmed container pools. To build application logic, Fission Workflows (in beta) is a low-code platform for tying multiple functions and triggers together.

Fully managed, enterprise-grade Kubernetes service that works out-of-the-box on VMware with 24x7x365 SLA guarantee enables enterprises to easily deploy and operate Kubernetes at scale, with no management overhead and no need for advanced Kubernetes expert

“VMware was never designed to run containerized workloads, and integrated offerings in the market today are extremely clunky, hard to implement and even harder to manage. We’re proud to take the pain out of Kubernetes on VMware, delivering a pure open source-based, Kubernetes-as-a-Service solution that is fully managed, just works out of the box, and with an SLA guarantee in your own environment.”

IT Operations and VMware administrators can now enable their developers with simple, self-service provisioning and automated management experience to deploy multiple Kubernetes clusters with a click of a button that is operated under the strictest SLAs.

The platform is built on a distribution that is 100 percent compatible with the upstream instance of Kubernetes made available via the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). It also permits organizations to run Kubernetes instantly from anywhere.
