Platform9: Managed OpenStack and Kubernetes as-a-Service

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

Despite its popularity, open source cloud platform OpenStack can be a bear to install and configure. It can take weeks or months to get all its various modules up and running properly. Instead, what about ten minutes?

That’s the promise of Platform9, who delivers a managed OpenStack deployment via SaaS. A few clicks in its custom UI, and voila, OpenStack is up and running. And for those companies looking to do the same with containers, Platform9 also offers Kubernetes-as-a-Service as well.

In addition, because Platform9 integrates with KVM (Linux’s built-in virtualization) as well as VMware vSphere, Platform9 is particularly useful for enterprises who are transitioning from VMware to OpenStack, or who would like to use OpenStack to coordinate and manage hybrid VMware environments.
