Kubecon: Mirantis Updates Storage for Large-Scale Kubernetes Deployments and Support for Google Cloud Platform

At Kubecon, Mirantis, Inc. announced product updates that enable performance storage for large-scale Kubernetes deployments, and also support for Google Cloud Platform – delivering a consistent Kubernetes experience across multiple infrastructure providers. “This is a key part of our plan to deliver true ZeroOps so customers spend less time setting up, running, and maintaining their infrastructure and more time building value,” said Shaun O’Meara, field CTO. “We’re solving the problem of persistent storage supporting petabyte-sized clusters all on kubernetes and, importantly, making it trivial to manage Kubernetes regardless of where it is running.”

With this update to Mirantis Container Cloud (MCC), it is possible to run mission-critical workloads supporting millions of users, with petabytes of storage accessible by Kubernetes clusters via open source Ceph.

An update to Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE) adds Google Cloud Platform to existing support for VMs, bare metal, hosted bare-metal on Equinix Metal, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. MKE is capable of running both Swarm and Kubernetes simultaneously on the same cluster, providing flexibility to choose orchestrators interchangeably for both Linux and Windows nodes.
