Cloud Manager: A New Multicloud PaaS Platform Built on Kubernetes

The quest to find the right kind of PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) — has for long been the holy grail of cloud computing. Multiple generations of technology have passed by which, by half-ingenuity, half-trial and error, have increasingly simplified the process of deploying and managing applications and services running in compute clusters — be it in a remote cloud or on-premises.

Cloud Manager is an abstraction layer on top of Kubernetes, but designed from the ground-up for multicluster/multicloud DevOps use, with both developers and operations in mind.

Cloud Manager is a new PaaS that leverages all the power of Kubernetes for managing individual clusters, but it is built from the ground-up to support multiple clusters possibly in multiple clouds.

Cloud Manager is also 100% agnostic about the Kubernetes distribution, and does not require the installation of any agent in the cluster.
