Kubernetes is backed by a distributed key value store called etcd, which is used for storing and replicating the state of the cluster. While many Kubernetes users are removed from the complexities of running etcd through the use of cluster management services like Containership, it is always interesting to understand…
Back in November of 2017, 36 companies were the first to agree to a standardized set of APIs for the Kubernetes project. On the surface this may seem trivial, but in reality it was one of many important steps towards a better future with Kubernetes. As a result, the Containership…
Containership recently had the opportunity to attend KubeCon EU in Copenhagen. As always, KubeCon was an exciting few days jam-packed with interesting talks.

Today we’re excited to announce the launch of CKE, the easiest way to provision and manage Kubernetes clusters on your favorite cloud provider in just a few clicks.

It's Finally Here! It is hard to believe that KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU is already next week. It seems like only yesterday we were in Austin launching Kubernetes clusters with Google home, learning how Kubernetes is helping make sure our favorite shows are available during prime time, and eating delicious Texas…
We are excited to announce that with the release of Containership 3.1, users can now provision Kubernetes clusters directly within the Containership UI on two managed Kubernetes providers: Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Containership is once again your one stop shop for cloud infrastructure management.…
Well actually, it was released last week, but we’re excited to announce that as of today it is fully supported on the Containership platform! While we’ve been busy integration testing support for the new version in Containership, hopefully you’ve found some time to check out all of…
If you’re a Docker Cloud user, you recently woke up to some disconcerting news regarding the longevity of the Docker Cloud platform. Docker announced that it would be discontinuing support for cluster management in their Docker Cloud product on May 21st, in turn leaving many users scrambling to find…
Kubernetes is taking the cloud infrastructure world by storm because it allows operators to stop worrying as much about individual servers thanks to its distributed clustered nature. It also puts a lot more power into the hands of developers to deploy and manage their own workloads, which is key for…
Up until a few years ago, managing on-prem data centers was a drag for folks unable to utilize the public cloud. While everyone else could take advantage of the public cloud and all the fancy services that came with it, they were stuck with only 3 real options for data…
