Platform9 and Fairwinds have partnered to solve the challenge of spiraling Kubernetes costs in public cloud deployments.
“With the growth of AIML and container workloads, the demand for public cloud Kubernetes resources is set to increase exponentially. Scalability, multi-cluster management, and efficient resource utilization are becoming critical considerations for enterprises,” said Madhura Maskasky, Platform9’s co-founder and VP of Product. “We saw a gap in the market and developed Elastic Machine Pool, a purpose-built solution that maximizes Kubernetes cluster efficiency and minimizes costs.”
“Over provisioning Kubernetes is a problem many organizations are facing. Instead of continuing to waste resources, Platform9’s Elastic Machine Pool seeks to tackle this problem by enabling users to run existing EKS workloads on fewer nodes,” said Andy Suderman, CTO at Fairwinds. “Getting EMP up and running during a Proof of Concept showcased that with a Managed Kubernetes-as-a-Service to help streamline implementation, enterprises can seamlessly add a layer of efficiency optimization to Kubernetes environments."
The collaboration between Fairwinds and Platform9 will enable enterprises to save time and money by focusing on their core business rather than infrastructure management and cost optimization. By leveraging Elastic Machine Pool alongside expert Kubernetes guidance, consulting, and implementation, organizations can achieve greater efficiency and cost savings.
