INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Kubernetes has gained in popularity quickly over the last 18 months, but like many highly technical solutions it requires a level of
expertise many companies are lacking
A Bangalore/San Francisco startup called Hasura hopes to simplify all of that with a managed Kubernetes solution built with developers in
mind.Today, the company announced a $1.6 million seed round led by Nexus Venture Partners with participation from GREE Ventures.Kubernetes
is a tool that helps companies running containers juggle or orchestrate them
This level of organization is required because the number of containers can grow quickly
If you think of a conductor telling the musicians when to come in and when to leave, Kubernetes plays a similar role for the container
(For a more complete explanation of containers, see this article.)The company has focused on getting developers up to speed with the latest
explained.Gopal says the idea is to be more than a managed Kubernetes provider by giving developers the tooling they need to get going
without having to build the underlying code for every application
You should have Kubernetes to have control [over your containerized applications], but you also need developer tooling to build on top of it
It was also skill in providing a set of tools developers could use to build on top of Kubernetes.Sameer Brij Verma, managing director at
lead investor Nexus Venture Partners sees Kubernetes quickly becoming a foundational technology for developers and Hasura is providing a way
to get up and running with little expertise
