Run Container-based Applications on OpenStack with Kubernetes
Tuesday, February 24, 2015
Many developers
containerize their application
so that it can run on any infrastructure; however, it’s still too hard to run containers on a private cloud. Together with Mirantis, we’ve integrated Kubernetes, our
open source container manager
, in OpenStack. This integration will make it easier to run your apps on a private cloud, while enabling new “hybrid” cloud possibilities. To learn more, sign up for the
waiting list

New “Hybrid” Possibilities
If your company is bigger than a startup, you probably have both on-premises and public cloud infrastructure to host your portfolio of apps. This “hybrid” approach is great in theory: your on-premises infrastructure offers control and you can scale to the public cloud when necessary. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to take advantage of this flexibility—it’s still too hard to move workloads between infrastructures.
With Kubernetes powering both your private and
public clouds
, you’ll be able to unlock the power of a hybrid infrastructure. For example, you might run a primary instance of your application in a private cloud, and then replicate other instances to
Google Container Engine
in geographies where you don’t have on-premises infrastructure.
