Platform9 announced an easy way to run Kubernetes clusters on any major public cloud. Their solution is Kube2Go, and it’s an open source platform that allows developers to easily use Kubernetes at scale, regardless if they are a Platform9 customer or not.
Kube2Go aims to address two major pain points in the Kubernetes community: Managing deployments across platforms and abstracting away much of the management process. With Kube2Go, developers can launch a CLI right from the browser and they can review their dashboard. Kube2Go will soon make the consumption of clusters easier, “by simplifying application development using Helm charts, and even integrating serverless functions-as-a-service via Fission,” the Kube2Go team wrote.
