2020: Анонс Nutanix Karbon Platform Services
On September 14, 2020 the Nutanix company provided Karbon Platform Services - the PaaS-solution on the basis of Kubernetes for multicloud environments with an automated system of security accelerating development and deployment of microservice applications. It provides completely ready managed services which will allow software developers to provide independence of applications of infrastructure, to create and start them in local, public and peripheral computing environments.
According to the company, the Karbon service will help software developers to simplify development and orchestration of applications and will save them from need to be engaged in IT infrastructure. Karbon Platform Services is based on Kubernetes opportunities for management of lifecycle which are originally implemented in the solution Karbon - a component of the Nutanix HCI platform. This offer provides a multiarendnost (multi tenant) and an automated system of security for start of a broad spectrum of microservice applications in different cloud infrastructures.
We looked for a single platform which could provide functioning of ours of the Reflex and Vision Insights system both in the environment of peripheral calculations, and in a private cloud and also in a public cloud to seize the opportunities of a distributed architecture for software development and opportunities of machine learning. Karbon Platform Services provides services which are necessary to us, along with simplicity and convenience of management in clouds. Implementation of Karbon Platform Services allowed Vision Insights developers and the DevOps command to reduce time of creation of a prototype from scratch practically four times. This application working at the Karbon Platform Services platform is already used by such company specializing in the field of management and automation of power supply as Schneider Electric.

- Transactions in different clouds on the basis of SaaS. IT commands will have opportunities from simplification of transactions and uniform management of lifecycle of applications, data and security, irrespective of the used cloud, in scalable SaaS - the solution for management vital an infrastructure cycle. Developers will get advantages of a set of platform services and an opportunity to write applications only once, and then to unroll and manage it in a cloud using the same tool.
- Expanded hybrid PaaS: Karbon Platform Services provides mobility of data between clouds and management of hybrid applications using the transparent, optimized for WAN data streams and the expanded interfaces of data. It allows the companies to use own services and other solutions of an ecosystem of Kubernetes.
- The increased security. Using Karbon Platform Services of an IT command can use the approved model of security and API with a possibility of observation of data and applications in a cloud. Service provides an automated system of security with the built-in function of collective use and role-based access control for a broad spectrum of the managed services.
The complexity of management of multicloud infrastructure and applications of Kubernetes is capable to nonplus IT departments and by that to limit the resources and tools available to application developers. Nutanix helps to overcome difficulties of hybrid infrastructure and also provides the managed Kubernetes, containers and a set of other services for developers in the PaaS format.
