Cisco Announces First Hybrid Solution for Kubernetes on Amazon Web
Services
Applications are the lifeblood of business. Build them easily and
get them up and running quickly and you have a huge competitive
advantage. But get bogged down worrying about where those
applications run, and you miss opportunities. Cisco is now solving
that problem with a new solution built for Amazon Web Services
(AWS) that makes running new containerized applications simple.
Organizations want the ability to develop and deploy
applications anywhere they want. Across public and private clouds,
without constraints. The Cisco Hybrid Solution for Kubernetes on
AWS makes it easy for customers to run production-grade Kubernetes
on-premises. This is achieved by configuring on-premises
Kubernetes environments to be consistent with Amazon Elastic
Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) and by combining
Cisco’s networking, security, management and monitoring software
with AWS’ world-class cloud services. This enables customers to
focus on building and using applications, instead of being
constrained by where they run.
This new solution:
- Helps developers accelerate innovation and reduce
time-to-market. Containerized applications can now be deployed and
managed more easily across on-premises and the AWS
cloud.
- Reduces complexity and costs for IT operations teams. The
management of on-premises Kubernetes infrastructure is simplified
with a common set of tools on-premises and on AWS.
- Meets the needs of both developers and IT operations
teams. It allows containerized applications to work with
existing resources and production environments.
- Provides world-class support. Cisco’s enterprise support covers
all parts of the solution.
“Today, most customers are forced to choose between developing
applications on-premises or in the cloud. This can create a complex
mix of environments, technologies, teams and vendors. But they
shouldn’t have to make a choice,” said Kip Compton, senior vice
president, Cloud Platform and Solutions at Cisco. “Now, developers
can use existing investments to build new cloud-scale applications
that fuel business innovation. This makes it easier to deploy and
manage hybrid applications, no matter where they run. This allows
customers to get the best out of both cloud and their on-premises
environments with a single solution.”
“More customers run containers on AWS and Kubernetes on AWS than
anywhere else,” said Terry Wise, Global Vice President of Channels
& Alliances, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Our customers want
solutions that are designed for the cloud and Cisco’s integration
with Amazon EKS will make it easier for them to rapidly deploy and
run containerized applications across both Cisco-based on-premises
environments and the AWS cloud.”
Availability, Pricing, and
Support
The Cisco Hybrid Solution for Kubernetes on AWS will be
available to customers in December 2018. It will be provided as
both a software-only solution requiring only the Cisco Container
Platform, or a hardware/software solution with the Cisco Container
Platform running on Cisco HyperFlex™. The software is
licensed in one-, three- and five-year subscriptions. Pricing
for software-only subscriptions will start at approximately $65,000
per year for a typical entry-level configuration. On AWS,
customers pay $0.20 per hour for each Amazon EKS cluster that they
create in addition to the AWS resources (e.g. Amazon EC2 instances
or Amazon Elastic Block Store volumes) they create to run
Kubernetes worker nodes.
The new solution will be sold by Cisco and its global partner
network. The platform will be supported by Cisco’s world-class
technical support. Cisco DevNet will also provide an online
resource for developers to trial and benchmark hybrid cloud
applications using the solution.
