VMware and Pivotal Container Service (PKS) Overview
VMware and Pivotal Software, in collaboration with Google Cloud, unveiled Pivotal Container Service (PKS), a new product that enables enterprises and service providers to deliver production-ready Kubernetes on VMware vSphere and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with constant compatibility to Google Container Engine (GKE). The new offering will ship as a standalone product, able to integrate with Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) and VMware’s software-defined data center (SDDC) infrastructure. The initial release of PKS will feature Kubernetes via BOSH, VMware NSX®, and a jointly developed version of Open Services Broker API that allows easy integration of GCP services into PKS applications.
PKS will feature cross-cloud security and network connectivity including container network interface (CNI) compatible services powered by NSX. PKS will be seamlessly integrated with VMware vSphere, enabling customers to use VMware's unified SDDC infrastructure for containers and VMs. nnWe will review a critical benefit for enterprise customers: PKS' constant compatibility to Google Container Engine (GKE), which is continuously powered by the latest Kubernetes release and features a fully managed experience backed by Google SRE (Site Reliability Engineering). As a result, PKS' constant compatibility with GKE will bring users the latest container-native innovations in a secure and consistent environment. With PKS and GKE, users will gain the workload portability, operational simplicity, and agility to speed business outcomes.
