Our take
The global cloud-native applications market has grown rapidly in recent years, as more companies look for scalable and flexible ways to build and run software. Managing these environments - often spread across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid setups - has become increasingly complex. SO that's where Mirantis comes in, focusing on open cloud software and what it calls a ZeroOps approach to simplify operations.
Mirantis offers a range of products used by millions of developers, designed to make it easier to build, deploy, and manage modern applications, Its tools help teams move away for manually handling infrastructure so they can focus more on writing code and delivering new features. As cloud environments continue to evolve, the company is a flexible, open alternative that adapts alongside changing developer needs.
Recently, Mirantis has been pushing further into this space with the development of k0rdent, an open-source platform designed dot act as a "super control plane" for managing Kubernetes across multiple environments. With its latest updates, k0rdent helps teams standardize how they deploy, scale, and monitor applications across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid setups. This focus on simplifying large-scale infrastructure management, combined with an open, community-driven approach, shows Mirantis is doubling down on helping organizations stay flexible while avoiding vendor lock-in.
