Fairwinds Insights
Fairwinds Ops
Protect and optimize your mission-critical Kubernetes applications. Fairwinds Insights is a Kubernetes configuration validation platform that proactively monitors your Kubernetes and container configurations and recommends improvements. The software combines trusted open source tools, toolchain integrations, and SRE expertise based on hundreds of successful Kubernetes deployments. Balancing the velocity of engineering with the reactionary pace of security can result in messy Kubernetes configurations and unnecessary risk. Trial-and-error efforts to adjust CPU and memory settings eats into engineering time and can result in over-provisioning data center capacity or cloud compute. Traditional monitoring tools are critical, but don’t provide everything needed to proactively identify changes to maintain reliable Kubernetes workloads. -

Designed on the same principles that allows Google to run billions of containers a week, Kubernetes can scale without increasing your ops team. Whether testing locally or running a global enterprise, Kubernetes flexibility grows with you to deliver your applications consistently and easily no matter how complex your need is. Kubernetes is open source giving you the freedom to take advantage of on-premises, hybrid, or public cloud infrastructure, letting you effortlessly move workloads to where it matters to you.Starting Price: Free -

Secure your container environment on GCP, GKE, or Anthos. Containerization allows development teams to move fast, deploy software efficiently, and operate at an unprecedented scale. As enterprises create more containerized workloads, security must be integrated at each stage of the build-and-deploy life cycle. Infrastructure security means that your container management platform provides the right security features. Kubernetes includes security features to protect your identities, secrets, and network, and Google Kubernetes Engine uses native GCP functionality—like Cloud IAM, Cloud Audit Logging, and Virtual Private Clouds—and GKE-specific features like application layer secrets encryption and workload identity to bring the best of Google security to your workloads. Securing the software supply chain means that container images are safe to deploy. This is how you make sure your container images are vulnerability free and that the images you build aren't modified.

27
Diamanti
Diamanti
The prevailing assumption is that containers are ideal only for stateless applications. However, many organizations are seeing the value of containerizing databases for many of the same reasons that they containerize their web applications, the ability to release more frequently, the ease of moving from development to staging to production, and the portability to run the same workload on any infrastructure. In fact, databases have emerged as a top use case for container adoption in a recent Diamanti survey. Cloud Native infrastructure inherently enables stateful applications to take advantage of elasticity and flexibility. However, catastrophic events like hardware failures, power failures, natural disasters or other unexpected events can cause loss of data for an extended period of time. This makes recovery tricky for stateful applications. One of the important requirements for cloud native storage is to seamlessly recover from such catastrophic events. -

V-locity
Condusiv Technologies
Throughput acceleration software for virtual servers - boosts Windows application performance at least 30%. Guaranteed to solve your toughest application performance challenges on I/O intensive systems, like MS-SQL! V-locity eliminates the two big I/O inefficiencies in a virtual environment that generate a minimum of 30-40% I/O traffic that is nothing but mere noise dampening performance and unnecessarily chewing up precious storage IOPS. Not only can you expect an immediate boost and reclaim 30-40% of your storage IOPS, but many offload upwards of 50% of I/O traffic from storage for big performance gains in the 2X-10X range, by simply allocating a little extra memory on key systems to better leverage V-locity for an even bigger benefit on MS-SQL workloads, Oracle, ERP, VDI, EHR (MEDITECH), Business Intelligence (BI) apps, CRM, Exchange, SharePoint, file servers, backup, and more. Just download and install - no reboot required! Watch Performance return and shadow IT problems disappear!Starting Price: $524.95 -

Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets
Microsoft
Build, on your terms, large-scale services for batch, big data, and container workloads using Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets, which let you create and manage a group of heterogeneous load-balanced virtual machines (VMs). Increase or decrease the number of VMs automatically in response to demand or based on a schedule you define. Centrally manage, configure, and update thousands of VMs and provide higher availability and security for your applications. Increase application uptime by using availability zones and availability sets to automatically distribute VMs in a scale set within a single data center or across multiple data centers. Scale sets run multiple VM instances of your application. Therefore, if one of these instances has a problem, your customers will continue to access your application with minimal disruption. Virtual machine scale sets guarantee up to 99.99 percent service-level agreements (SLAs) for your VMs.Starting Price: $6.1320 per month -

Ensure the security of your workloads, simplify regulatory compliance, and guarantee data sovereignty with IBM Cloud Secure Virtualization. A trusted cloud infrastructure must be able to answer these questions for corporate oversight, security, and compliance. A customer wants to create an environment where administration, workload execution, and data access are constrained to a particular geo-location with full audit capabilities. During deployment, identify the firmware configurations you will allow and the hypervisor configurations you have approved. Accurately identify each physical host and its physical location, creating a snapshot or fingerprint of each trusted host's launch configuration. This is stored in an allowlist. If the measurements of a host's BIOS and hypervisor match the measurements stored in the allowlist, the boot environment is attested. The host launches into a state that is considered trusted.

IONOS Cloud Cubes
IONOS
IONOS Cloud Cubes are cost-effective virtual server instances designed to provide flexible computing capacity for a wide range of cloud workloads. Each Cube functions as a virtual machine that includes virtual CPU resources, RAM, and a directly attached NVMe storage volume to deliver fast performance for applications and services. It allows users to deploy independent computing environments that can be used for development, testing, staging, or running lightweight production workloads such as web applications. Cloud Cubes are integrated into the IONOS Cloud infrastructure and can operate alongside other services like the Compute Engine within the same virtual data center, enabling businesses to combine resources and scale their environments as needed. Users can configure and manage Cubes visually through the Data Center Designer interface or automate their creation and management through APIs, SDKs, and configuration management tools.Starting Price: $0.008 per hour
