Using Containers in SoftIron’s HyperCloud Private Cloud
Containers running as the cloud intended
It makes good sense to run cloud workloads in containers—they enhance portability, scalability and efficiency.
But making sure your private cloud supports containers isn’t so easy for a variety of reasons:
- There are many container standards to support
- Variety of container orchestration standards to support
- Persistent storage for ephemeral workloads is not easy to accomplish
Making sure your private cloud is container-ready is not easy.
SoftIron can help…
First, SoftIron’s HyperCloud supports all popular container standards, such as Docker, Podman, and LXC. We even support bare-metal containers. We also support all container orchestration solutions like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and Nomad.
But, beyond basic container and orchestration support, HyperCloud provides a rich ecosystem through our marketplace. Customers can download what they need from a wide range of ready-to-run VMs or container images, such as Linux, OpenSuse, gateways, load balancers, monitoring solutions, and others. Finally, we support serverless computing through our support for lightweight, ultra-high-speed micro-VMs.
