Red Kubes Announces the Open Source Otomi Container Platform and $1.45M USD Seed Funding.

Red Kubes, provider of a turn-key, out of the box Kubernetes-based container platform solution, today announced the open-sourcing of the Otomi Container Platform community edition as well as $1.45M USD seed funding from venture capital firm Capital Mills. The Otomi Container Platform community edition is a container platform curated with industry proven open-source applications and policies for better governance and security, providing developers a mono repo with repeatable code that is easy to adapt, extend and configure.

While the industry’s move toward the containerization of applications is happening fast, the technologies to support this shift are still in their infancy. Kubernetes is the clear leader for doing this work but remains, at this phase, far too complex for the IT masses to use. DevOps professionals and IT departments all over the world are struggling with homegrown solutions or high-priced consultants who build custom platforms that are both incredibly expensive and hard to manage.

Built with a developer-first philosophy, the Otomi Container Platform was created with the 12-factor app methodology to design a Kubernetes-based container management platform that embraces existing open-source projects while being open and flexible for inevitable change over time. Otomi is extensible and can be easily installed on top of Kubernetes clusters in AWS, Azure, GCP, or even on-premises. Included features and benefits of Otomi:

• OSX like interface: Sign-in to the Otomi console and get role based access to all integrated and pre-configured apps
• Single-Sign-On: Simply connect your own Identity Provider or use integrated KeyCloak
• Multi-tenant onboarding: Provide teams with own namespace and Otomi console
• Central Policy management: Enforce pre-configured OPA policies across multiple teams and clusters
• Multi-cloud and multi-cluster: Keep all clusters in sync with a single configuration repository
• Automatic deployment: Deploy and publicly expose containerized workloads in minutes
• Networking/service configuration: Automatic DNS, cert provisioning and ingress configuration
• Avoids technical debt: Otomi is a framework of open source applications with integrated lifecycle management

The Otomi Container Platform community edition is available today. New releases are scheduled periodically with a transparent roadmap of planned features and functionality.
