Run cloud native projects on your OpenStack infrastructure

Enjoy the ease and simplicity that Giant Swarm provides with a managed cloud native stack within your own data center.

The shortcut to cloud native success on OpenStack

Easily leverage Kubernetes and reap the benefits of an always up-to-date cloud native platform. Including 24/7 operations and hands-on expert support for running containerized applications in production.

Efficiency

Build better software faster by focusing on your business while Giant Swarm ensures the cloud native stack is up to date and operational.

Agility

Quickly respond to changing business needs by managing Kubernetes in a GitOps fashion deploying as often as you need.

Security

OOB sensible defaults such as hard isolation for every Kubernetes cluster, RBAC, Pod Security, and Advanced Network Policies.

Resilience

Rest assured your management cluster and all workload clusters, are up-to-date and operational at all times.

Governance

Promote repeatability in your processes by utilizing Kubernetes characteristics like code-defined setup.

Scalability

Utilize fully isolated clusters that scale independently, without growing your hardware investment in order to support edge cases.

OpenStack architecture

The OpenStack components required with the Giant Swarm solution.

Keystone implements OpenStack’s Identity API.

Octavia to provision Load Balancers.

Neutron configured to support tenant and providers networks.

Nova for access to compute resources.

Glance to store and distribute the VM images.

Beyond Kubernetes on OpenStack

OpenStack is the most widely deployed open source cloud software in the world. But, if you are thinking of a hybrid model Giant Swarm flattens the learning curve between cloud providers.

Multi-project Operations

Provision and scale multiple Kubernetes clusters with your preferred configuration and tooling for each of your cloud native projects.

Consistency of Environments

Keep control over the consistency of Kubernetes versions, roles, security, and network configuration for all your different project environments while not incurring upgrade debt.

Hybrid Cloud Portability

Use the same API and vanilla Kubernetes to run your workloads across private data-center(s) and public clouds.

Managed Services

Focus on the applications that move your business forward instead of wasting time on managing workers, load-balancers, networking, logging, monitoring, service mesh, and more.
