Organizations looking
to improve business agility are adopting a software-defined infrastructure
approach to support containerization of their applications. Most are either
containerizing existing applications directly or using a modern microservices
architecture approach. SUSE CaaS Platform supports both tactics, helping
customers be more agile and reduce operating costs.

“Container innovation
is improving how applications are developed and run, but companies don’t want
to have to set up and maintain a complex and secure container infrastructure by
themselves,” said Thomas Di Giacomo, SUSE CTO. “They want to focus on creating
applications that bring value to their business. So SUSE is providing an easy-to-use container infrastructure solution that
helps them deploy next-generation, cloud native container-based applications
and progressively migrate traditional and existing apps.”

SUSE CaaS Platform
consists of three key components – orchestration using Kubernetes, a
purpose-built operating system (SUSE MicroOS) for microservices and containers, and configuration capabilities – that
provide the following benefits to customers and partners:
consists of three key components – orchestration using Kubernetes, a
purpose-built operating system (SUSE MicroOS) for microservices and containers, and configuration capabilities – that
provide the following benefits to customers and partners:
- Reduced
time to market using out-of-the-box
platform capabilities that enable customers to implement orchestration
using production grade Kubernetes, deploy resilient container services,
maximize portability, and develop in a trusted computing environment.
- Increased
operational efficiency with
automation of deployment management tasks and full application lifecycle
support of containers using the built-in container toolset. It provides
capabilities to manage on-premise registry, build container images,
securely patch container images, collaborate securely and use trusted
images from the SUSE Registry.
- Enablement
of DevOps for improved application
lifecycle management. It bridges developers and operations using a single,
unified container platform that helps save development and operations
time. It also makes it easy to deploy microservices and enables
coexistence of configuration and code.
“SUSE envisions
several key use cases for its CaaS platform, including the enablement of DevOps
and microservices implementations for faster and more automated application
releases across different infrastructure,” said Jay Lyman, principal analyst,
Cloud Management and Containers, for 451 Research. “Organizations interested in
enterprise-grade security, reliability and scalability with containers are the
ones most likely to be interested in the SUSE CaaS Platform.”

Craig Parker, head of
Integrated Systems Business at Fujitsu in EMEIA, said, “As we endeavor to equip
our customers with the latest in container innovations, SUSE’s Container as a
Service Platform provides us with a strategic choice to adopt a modern container
infrastructure solution while saving costs in building and maintaining a
proprietary set of container tools. In addition, the integrated SUSE MicroOS
and Kubernetes gives us a good option to run container-based applications on
Fujitsu hardware and keep them up to date with minimal manual intervention.”

Will Ochandarena,
senior director of Product Management at MapR Technologies, said, “Stateful
application containers are a critical component of next-generation intelligent
applications. The end-to-end container management provided by the SUSE CaaS
Platform nicely complements the persistent data services provided by the
MapR-XD Cloud-Scale Data Store to enable applications that operationalize
data-driven insights in real-time.”

Tim McIntire, co-founder
of StackIQ, said, “In addition to our support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
12, we are delighted to partner with SUSE and support their Container as a
Service Platform. Our joint customers get the benefit of lightning-speed
deployments of container farms on bare metal with Open Source Stacki, and an
improvement in performance from running containers directly on bare metal.”
