Description

The Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), which is fully managed, simplifies the process of deploying and overseeing containerized applications. It provides serverless Kubernetes capabilities, a seamless CI/CD experience, and robust security and governance features suited for enterprises. By bringing together your development and operations teams on one platform, you can swiftly build, deliver, and expand applications with greater assurance. Additionally, it allows for elastic provisioning of extra resources without the hassle of managing the underlying infrastructure. You can implement event-driven autoscaling and triggers using KEDA. The development process is expedited through Azure Dev Spaces, which integrates with tools like Visual Studio Code, Azure DevOps, and Azure Monitor. Furthermore, it offers sophisticated identity and access management via Azure Active Directory, along with the ability to enforce dynamic rules across various clusters using Azure Policy. Notably, it is accessible in more regions than any competing cloud service provider, enabling wider reach for your applications. This comprehensive platform ensures that businesses can operate efficiently in a highly scalable environment.

Description

Platform9 Private Cloud Director turns existing servers and storage into a fully featured private cloud. It provides a fast and efficient method for organizations to migrate away from VMware, with minimal disruption. Enterprise IT teams get a familiar virtualization management experience and a true drop-in replacement for VMware vSphere features, offering all critical enterprise features out of the box: Virtual Machine (VM) High Availability, live migration (vMotion equivalent), Dynamic Resource Rebalancing (VMware DRS equivalent), VM cloning, snapshots, templates, software-defined networking, and secure multi-tenancy. Unlike other solutions that may require proprietary hyperconverged infrastructure or re-platforming to Kubernetes, Private Cloud Director works with existing environments—including servers from Dell, HPE, Lenovo, and storage systems from NetApp, Tintri, Pure Storage, and more. Private Cloud Director can be deployed as a fully self-managed solution, a SaaS-managed service, or in air-gapped environments, giving IT teams complete control over their operating model. With Platform9’s free vJailbreak tool, enterprises can perform automated migrations of entire VMware vSphere clusters to Private Cloud Director—including complex VM configurations, multiple datastores, and advanced network policies—at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional approaches. Private Cloud Director supports both VMs and container workloads on a single unified platform, enabling a gradual transition to cloud-native architecture without disrupting current operations. Private Cloud Director can be deployed flexibly as a fully self-managed solution, a SaaS-managed service, or in air-gapped environments.
