CloudBolt Introduces Advanced Kubernetes and Terraform Support in Version 9.2

NORTH BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CloudBolt Software, the industry's leading cloud management platform provider for the enterprise, today announced the general availability of CloudBolt 9.2, which helps enterprise IT accelerate their hybrid cloud journey with less effort.

This new release features comprehensive lifecycle management for Kubernetes, empowers developers through deep Terraform integration, and expands CloudBolt's support with new integrations for IBM Cloud, IBM Cloud for Government, VMware Cloud on AWS, and Red Hat OpenShift.

By radically simplifying the deployment and management of Kubernetes, CloudBolt 9.2 greatly increases enterprise agility. Gartner estimates that by 2022, more than 75% of global enterprises will run containerized applications in production, making this feature in particular a critical improvement for most IT organizations.

"As enterprises further invest in containerization and navigate the complexities of hybrid cloud, it's never been more important to deliver rapid time-to-value and provide customers with freedom of choice," said Brian Kelly, chief executive officer of CloudBolt. "With 9.2's ability to easily deploy and manage the lifecycle of multi-node Kubernetes clusters and integrate with key cloud environments through CloudBolt's blueprints, we continue our commitment to innovation through simplicity and flexibility."

The CloudBolt platform simplifies multi-cloud management with a single pane of glass, accelerates workload delivery through self-service IT, and enforces governance through centralized automation and orchestration with complete control. The comprehensive nature of the 9.2 release allows enterprises to accelerate time-to-value with their hybrid cloud initiatives. New features that enable this acceleration include:

    --  Deploy Kubernetes clusters and containerized applications with just a
        few clicksWith 9.2's ability to deploy multi-node Kubernetes clusters
        quickly, what was previously a cumbersome, lengthy, and error-prone
        process can now be done in just minutes. This also enables IT and
        developers to deploy container-based applications into those provisioned
        Kubernetes clusters with ease.

    --  Empower Infrastructure as Code (IaS) through enhanced Terraform
        supportAvailable through a new third-party plug-in in GitHub, developers
        can now call and invoke CloudBolt service actions through Terraform
        plans. Automating infrastructure management (e.g., provisioning,
        deployment, and day-2 operations) enables users to be more efficient,
        while post-deployment, users can track resource usage and maintain
        continuous visibility through CloudBolt dashboards.

    --  Manage IBM Cloud through powerful CloudBolt blueprints9.2 comes with new
        out-of-the-box support for IBM Cloud for Government, made possible by
        simple and standardized built-in blueprints. This integration enables IT
        to provision new services (e.g., compute, networking, storage, etc.)
        quickly in both IBM Cloud and IBM Cloud for Government, all from within
        CloudBolt's self-service catalog.

    --  Provision VMware Cloud on AWS resources through self-service ITLike
        provisioning to IBM Cloud, CloudBolt 9.2 now makes it easier than ever
        to provision and migrate workloads through VMware Cloud (VMC) on AWS.
        Enterprises can migrate and manage workloads in VMC on AWS efficiently
        from a single CloudBolt portal, thereby avoiding the need to manage two
        different cloud environments.

    --  Deliver value quickly in Red Hat OpenShift environments through
        CloudBolt integrationCloudBolt's new OpenShift blueprint allows IT and
        developers to discover, create, and delete OpenShift projects on
        pre-defined OpenShift clusters. Enterprises can manage OpenShift
        projects, group objects (e.g., pods and services), policies, constraints
        (such as quotas), and service accounts via CloudBolt's self-service
        catalog.
