Netstream launches «Kubernetes as a Service powered by VMware Tanzu»

VMware Tanzu provides the basis for modernising infrastructures and applications with container management. This solution gives developers a modern application infrastructure so they can build better software and bring innovative applications to market faster. Administrators benefit from full control over security and policies and from how easy it is to deploy new clusters – as easy as deploying new virtual machines. Thanks to centralised management, application developers and operations teams work together towards the goal of shorter release cycles.

We have been using the container platform for years to modernise and develop our own TV platform and apps. Now, by providing Kubernetes as a Service, we want to enable other companies to benefit from the advantages of the service as well – fully managed.

«With full management through VMware Tanzu and native integration into our cloud, we enable companies and developers to enjoy the advantages of the Kubernetes service and benefit from the combined strength of the VMware group and Netstream AG,» says a delighted Reto Kasser, CTO of Netstream AG. «We know from our own experience how difficult it is to achieve convergence between virtual machines and orchestrated containers. Unlike the self-managed Kubernetes environments already available, we and VMware offer a fully managed, enterprise-grade solution that makes this convergence possible. This allows us to accompany a wide variety of companies on their digital transformation journey.»

«We very much welcome Netstream AG launching a Kubernetes as a Service offering based on VMware Tanzu. It gives our shared customer base the opportunity to run virtual machines and Kubernetes side by side, simplify K8s operations, enable developer self-service and access the best of open source from a Swiss data center as a fully managed, enterprise-grade service,» says Thomas Krieg, Senior Director Alps at VMware.
