Mastering Dockerfile USER: The Key to seamless Kubernetes Deployment

University Professor José van Dijck argues in “De correspondent” today that it is necessary to reduce dependence on big technology companies and develop alternatives with public money.
According to Professor van Dijck: “Sectors such as education need to ask themselves to what extent they want to be dependent on one company for all their online services. Under the guise of ease of use and security, these tech companies link their services to each other. Once you are in such a system, it is very expensive to switch to something else”.
As a result, universities and schools lose autonomy and control over the development of educational services. They become dependent on what that one system has to offer and they can no longer stop. She argues that: “Politicians and public organizations must therefore actively invest in a public infrastructure and technological innovations that are open in nature, that are well connected and where data can be easily transferred across different systems and platforms.”.
Red Kubes has developed an open-source, cloud agnostic Kubernetes-based container platform, called Otomi. Otomi extends Kubernetes with an advanced ingress architecture, a complete suite of integrated applications, multi-tenancy, developer self-service, and implemented security best-practices to support the most common DevOps use cases out-of-the-box with an OS X like experience.
Otomi has been developed as a value-added layer on top of Kubernetes and runs on any Kubernetes cluster in any cloud, and even on-premises. With Otomi, you don’t have to lock yourself into any cloud provider or risk rapidly increasing cloud service bills. Move workloads from one cloud to the other in minutes instead of months.
Otomi is ideal for running educational applications without becoming dependent on one cloud provider, but can also be used as a learning platform for students to deploy their own applications in a controlled and secure manner. This way students can learn to work with containerization and Kubernetes while learning along the way. Like to know more about Otomi? Contact us and we’ll tell you all about it.
