Spinning up a Kubernetes cluster is relatively easy for an experienced Cloud engineer. Making Kubernetes production-ready, including integrating with data storage, setting up operational tools, automating the deployment pipeline and ensuring security, is much more complex than most teams think at the beginning. Many organizations start using Kubernetes without realizing that the complexity and skills required to be successful increase exponentially as the number of applications increase.
Inevitably, engineers end up learning about Kubernetes as they work. This can lead to:
With Otomi Container Platform, teams have guardrails in place so that even if they don’t know the best practices, they will be forced to follow them.
The curated, opinionated stack means teams don’t have many opportunities to choose ‘wrong,’ even if this is their first time using Kubernetes.
Not only does this make Kubernetes adoption much faster, it dramatically reduces the impact of any skills gap on either development speed or risk.
Simple
OSX-like interface; mono repository with repeatable code that is easy to adapt, extend and configure; A clear separation between code and configuration.
Predictable
All platform code and policies in a single repo. Let Otomi deploy containers and eradicate code sprawl. (Coming soon: Transparent billing showing cost per team and services.)
Cost-effective
Otomi container platform is 10% of the cost of similar solutions. Configured and deployed in hours, you can start day 2 operations that same day and benefit from new features and improvements delivered upstream.
Scalable
One configuration repo for all your clusters. One monorepo with all your applications and integrations.
Secure
Integrated best practices like RBAC, OPA policies, Network Policies, image scanning, audit trail. (Coming soon: choose from a selection of “smart” security solutions from leading vendors)
OSX like user interface
Otomi compresses years of Kubernetes expertise and best practices into an OSX-like interface, giving users access for the first time to best-in-class preconfigured and integrated open source applications. Existing solutions don’t offer pre-configured apps at this level of integration.
Avoids lock-in
Otomi avoids lock-in and positions favorite open source applications, which helps devs to adopt, and invest in mature portable solutions that they know and want to work with.
Development experience
Otomi offers development experience tailored for the workflows of k8s devops.
