Microsoft has acquired German Flatcar Container Linux creator Kinvolk with the intention of bringing the expertise of the company’s team to its Azure business where it is hoped they will contribute to projects that will expand Azure’s hybrid container platform capabilities.
Founded in Berlin in 2015, Kinvolk builds and maintains open source projects that span all layers of the cloud native stack, from Kubernetes, through the container runtimes, systemd and the Linux kernel.
