Snapshots and deeper ETCD integration among new features delivered to support enterprise DevOps teams

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE )--Ondat, the leading Kubernetes-native data platform provider, today released into general availability version 2.8 of its Ondat platform for stateful workloads in Kubernetes. The new version brings significant changes that open up the option of running a robust ETCD setup within production clusters, removing the need for external service setup. This change reduces operational overhead and cost for production users.

Key enhancements in v2.8 include:

“Our customers have come to rely on Ondat to support the performance and reliability that their stateful workloads require in Kubernetes,” said Alex Chircop, founder and CEO of Ondat. “With version 2.8, we’ve added several important new features they’ve asked for, including snapshots and the ability to run ETCD within their clusters. Taken together, these new capabilities further extend the enterprise capabilities in Ondat, making it an increasingly popular choice.”

With the growing popularity of containers and microservices, infrastructure teams have come face-to-face with the complexity of running stateful workloads like databases and messaging systems in Kubernetes. DevOps teams have worked around this limitation by hosting stateful applications outside of the Kubernetes infrastructure. This, in turn, has increased costs and complexity, whilst reducing performance.

Ondat delivers a container-native storage platform that delivers the data services, performance and resiliency to run these workloads natively in Kubernetes. Ondat customers that are running mission-critical databases in their clusters reduce operational overhead while benefiting from the cost and performance savings that Kubernetes delivers.

Ondat (formerly StorageOS) is the Kubernetes-native platform for running stateful applications, anywhere, at scale. Ondat delivers persistent storage directly onto any Kubernetes cluster for running business-critical, stateful applications safely across any public, private and hybrid clouds. For development, DevOps professionals and technology executives, it provides an agnostic platform to run any data service anywhere while ensuring industry-leading levels of application performance, high availability, and security.
