Turbonomic Extends Kubernetes Management Reach - Container Journal

Turbonomic this week extended the reach of its workload automation platform for Kubernetes into the public cloud. Asena Hertz, senior product marketing manager for Turbonomic, says the company has added support for Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS), Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). In doing so, Turbonomic ensures that any container-as-a-service (CaaS) environment has the resources required to both meet specific application performance levels as well as comply with any number of regulations. In addition to support for public clouds, the fall edition of the company's namesake platform also adds support for Pivotal Container Service (PKS) alongside existing support for other on-premises editions of Kubernetes. Hertz says the goal is to enable IT organizations to create self-service instances of Kubernetes that leverage a Turbonomic decision engine based on machine learning algorithms to make sure Kubernetes pods have the exact resources needed at any given point in time.
