Credit: Dreamstime 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. ....
Microsoft buys Linux distribution maker Kinvolk to boost Azure cloud services SHARE Microsoft Corp. has bought Kinvolk GmbH, the Berlin-based startup behind a specialized Linux distribution used to power software container environments on Azure and other public clouds. The technology giant announced the deal today in a post on its Azure blog. Kinvolk’s Linux distribution is called Flatcar Linux and packs multiple optimizations for running containerized applications, which can be run unchanged in across multiple computing environments. Among the changes is an automated updating mechanism that the startup says makes installing new operating system versions easier in container environments. Meanwhile, Flatcar Linux’s file system, a software component responsible for managing data, is immutable, which blocks malicious modifications and thereby reduces the risk of a cyberattack. ....
Copy Microsoft has acquired Kinvolk, a German open source company whose best known project is Flatcar Container Linux, a distribution designed for container workloads. Kinvolk was founded in 2015 in Berlin and its first project was building a container runtime, called rkt, for Container Linux (formerly CoreOS), a lightweight Linux distribution. CoreOS Inc, the company behind Container Linux, was acquired by Red Hat in early 2018. Anxious for the future of Container Linux, Kinvolk founder and CEO Chris Kühl said Flatcar Linux is a friendly fork of CoreOS s Container Linux and as such, compatible with it. The rationale for Flatcar Linux was uncertainty about the future of Container Linux after Red Hat s acquisition. At the time, Red Hat product manager Rob Szumski said Red Hat plans to continue Container Linux’s development and promised that it would remain free. ....
MSPs primed as customers move away from managing Kubernetes MSPs primed as customers move away from managing Kubernetes Availability of solid and varied managed Kubernetes options has seen more and more companies shy away from managing their own clusters. Here’s why Credit: Dreamstime Managing Kubernetes is hard, and many organisations are starting to realise they can better focus on other, as-yet unsolved engineering problems if they hand off a big chunk of their container orchestration responsibilities to managed service providers (MSPs). Each cloud provider offers more and more managed versions of these services such as the highly opinionated GKE Autopilot and the serverless EKS Fargate since first launching around 2018. There are other options, such as Rancher, Red Hat OpenShift, and VMware Tanzu, but the Big Three cloud vendors dominate this area. ....
