Description
IBM Cloud® Kubernetes Service offers a certified and managed Kubernetes platform designed for the deployment and management of containerized applications on IBM Cloud®. This service includes features like intelligent scheduling, self-healing capabilities, and horizontal scaling, all while ensuring secure management of the necessary resources for rapid deployment, updating, and scaling of applications. By handling the master management, IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service liberates users from the responsibilities of overseeing the host operating system, the container runtime, and the updates for the Kubernetes version. This allows developers to focus more on building and innovating their applications rather than getting bogged down by infrastructure management. Furthermore, the service’s robust architecture promotes efficient resource utilization, enhancing overall performance and reliability.
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.
