Our open source technology is often characterized as “Google’s infrastructure for everyone else.” Today we are excited to make this idea a reality by announcing the general availability of Tectonic, a commercial Kubernetes platform. Tectonic provides the combined power of the CoreOS portfolio and the Kubernetes project to any cloud or on-premise environment. Our users want to securely run containers at scale in a distributed environment. We help companies do this by building open source tools which allow teams to create this type of infrastructure. With Tectonic, we now have an option for companies that want a pre-assembled and enterprise-ready distribution of these tools, allowing them to quickly see the benefits of modern container infrastructure. Tectonic pre-packages all of the components required to build your own Google-style infrastructure and adds additional commercial features, such as a management console for workflows and dashboards, an integrated registry to store and share containers, plus additional tools to automate deployment and customize rolling updates. Tectonic is the smartest way to run your container infrastructure. Head over to https://tectonic.com/ to learn more or get in touch with us.
