The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, is making significant updates to its certification offerings.
Virtuozzo and Jelastic announced a strategic partnership to introduce Virtuozzo DevOps, an application orchestration platform to simplify and accelerate internal development processes.
This offering is targeted at mid-size and large enterprise customers with in-house development and production infrastructure and ISVs selling apps via SaaS models to external customers. The joint offering can be easily downloaded and installed by customers, and it includes the first server license for free.
The partnership with Jelastic is a natural progression in the Virtuozzo product stack supporting new customer use-cases. It allows the company to focus on its core competencies and build upon existing technologies available in the market. Through this partnership, Virtuozzo DevOps is a new platform based on Virtuozzo containers that can be installed on top of any infrastructure – public or private, bare-metal or virtualized to automate and accelerate internal development processes. It provides a set of optimally preconfigured containers for Java, PHP, Ruby, Node.js, Python and .NET and the ability to use custom Docker containers.
“After the successful launch of Virtuozzo 7, we are continuing to expand our product portfolio with Virtuozzo DevOps,” said Mike Riolo, interim CEO, Virtuozzo. “This new partnership is a natural transition to help us accelerate our time to market to support DevOps. As a company, we are continuing our investments into partnerships, market opportunities, our people and products that will help support our aggressive expansion plans.”
“The partnership with Virtuozzo expands our channel and adds value that customers can ultimately benefit from,” said Ruslan Synytsky, CEO, Jelastic. “The outcome of this collaboration is the improved private cloud offering for DevOps teams that can be easily self-installed by engineers making the product more accessible for customers.”
Key benefits of the newly offered solution include:
- Rapid return on investment, so businesses can focus on delivering value and spend less time managing the development, testing and production environment.
- Efficient utilization on existing hardware and public cloud resources in production from one server to multi-datacenter and multi-cloud deployment. Configure, deploy and update a full stack of services required by an application in minutes.
- Application load scalability horizontally and vertically to configure, deploy and update a full stack of services required by an application in minutes across local and public clouds.
- Docker integration with Docker Hub and private Docker registry
