Kubefirst, an open-source GitOps-powered Kubernetes platform situated in Greenwich, Connecticut, was purchased by Civo, a UK-based pure-play cloud-native service provider, from its parent business, Kubeshop.
The deal’s financial details were kept a secret.
By adding Kubefirst to its client offerings, this acquisition seeks to expand Civo’s portfolio and strengthen its resolve to make cloud computing simpler. After being acquired by Civo, Kubefirst will stay a separate business, adhering to its objective of maintaining an open-source software version and its agnostic integrations with cloud providers.
Founded in 2019 by John Dietz and Jared Edwards, and headed by CEO Dmitry Fonarev, Kubefirst provides instantaneous GitOps platforms so that users may quickly integrate the most widely used open source platform tools. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s Landscape lists the platform as open source.
This acquisition advances Civo’s goal of making the cloud simpler for its clients. It builds on recent partnerships and investments made to expand the company’s sustainable cloud offering, such as spearheading a £1 million seed funding round for heata, a low-carbon compute network, and being Deep Green’s exclusive cloud partner.
Civo is a cloud provider that specializes on cloud native technology, and its CEO is Mark Boost. The company offers organizations everything they need to begin their cloud adventure, including infrastructure based on the blazingly fast Kubernetes platform, the newest and most sustainable cloud GPUs, managed machine learning and new machine learning models, and a monthly fee that is predictable for services utilized.
The goal of Kubeshop, a studio accelerator, is to create software solutions for testers, developers, and DevOps professionals. Among its portfolio’s contents are:
- Testkube is a cloud-native framework for test orchestration and execution that is vendor-neutral.
- Botkube is a Kubernetes monitoring and troubleshooting platform powered by artificial intelligence.
- Tracetest is an end-to-end testing and debugging tool that utilizes distributed traces from Open-Telemetry.
