Today we are launching VMware Tanzu's Kubernetes platform under the name "Kubernetes as a Service powered by VMware Tanzu." The fully managed Kubernetes service simplifies the deployment and management of containerized applications. This makes us one of the first three companies in Europe to offer VMware Tanzu.
VMware Tanzu provides the foundation for modernizing infrastructure and applications using 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 the simplicity of deploying new clusters—as easy as deploying new virtual machines. Centralized management enables application developers and operations teams to work together toward the goal of shorter release cycles.
We have been using the container platform for years to modernize and develop our own TV platform and apps. Now, with the provision of Kubernetes as a Service, we want to enable other companies to benefit from the advantages of the service—fully managed.
"Thanks to complete management by VMware Tanzu and native integration into our Cloud, we enable companies and developers to enjoy the benefits of the Kubernetes service and thus benefit from the combined power of the VMware Group and Netstream ," says Reto Kasser, CTO of Netstream . "From our own experience, we know how difficult it is to achieve convergence between virtual machines and orchestrated containers. Unlike existing self-managed Kubernetes environments, we are working with VMware to offer a fully managed enterprise-level solution that enables this convergence. This allows us to support a wide variety of companies on their path to digital transformation."
"We are delighted that Netstream is launching a Kubernetes as a Service offering based on VMware Tanzu. This 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.
