Kubermatic Launches KubeCarrier to Deliver Cloud Native Service Management at Scale With Kubernetes Operators

Open Source Service Management Hub Enables the Centralized Automation of Services and Applications Across Clusters, Clouds, and Regions

Kubermatic, a Kubernetes automation software company that powers IT operations at scale,  released KubeCarrier – an open source, cloud native Service Management Hub. With KubeCarrier, platform operators can automate the provisioning and entire lifecycle management of services, applications, and API-accessible hardware devices by leveraging Kubernetes Operators.

Operators extend the power of Kubernetes to a wide range of applications, serve as templates for automating application management, and improve scalability and repeatability – critical for deploying stateful applications in a truly cloud native way. However, as enterprise cloud native adoption accelerates, organizations are confronted with the complexities of service management across multiple clusters, clouds, and regions, and struggle with enterprise-grade compliance and the operational burden involved.

KubeCarrier addresses these complexities by harnessing the Kubernetes API and Operators into a central framework, allowing enterprises and service providers to deliver cloud native service management from one multi-cloud, multi-cluster hub. With KubeCarrier, internal or external customers can immediately deploy the cloud native software and services they need, including databases, data stores, monitoring, and service meshes.
