GigaOm Radar for Managed Kubernetes

Justin Warren — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 16:53:30 +0000

Kubernetes has become the dominant technology for orchestrating container-based software deployments outside of specific cloud environments. Developers, especially those accustomed to cloud-based deployments, now prefer to build applications using containers. Kubernetes provides a common and well-understood approach to managing those deployments for self-managed infrastructure.

What started with low-risk, non-critical, exploratory applications at a small scale has now moved to large-scale adoption for business-critical applications. Kubernetes has similarly moved from smaller proof-of-concept implementations to critical infrastructure supporting these microservices-based applications.

Business Imperative
The reality is that most organizations are not prepared for the operational demands of the complex and constantly changing ecosystem that Kubernetes represents. Managing existing workload demands is already a challenge without the additional burden of learning new skills. Organizations are therefore faced with a difficult choice: reject Kubernetes completely and compromise developers’ desire to use microservices patterns, muddle through on their own as best they can with what they have, or look for outside assistance.

Managed Kubernetes is an attractive way to shift the operational burden of maintaining Kubernetes and its ecosystem away from the internal IT team. This can be achieved through automation—where vendor offerings manage the Kubernetes clusters for customers—or a managed service. Managed services are a known quantity commonly used in other areas of enterprises today.

There are multiple managed Kubernetes options to choose from, and the choice is made easier by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s early move to define a standard for Kubernetes interoperability. This standard helped to reduce the risk of Kubernetes splintering into multiple competing and incompatible variants, as in the early Unix market and later with Linux distributions. The core of Kubernetes is the same on all standard-compliant options, which differentiate themselves on value-added features and functions.

This is our fourth year evaluating the managed Kubernetes space in the context of our Key Criteria and Radar reports. This report builds on our previous analysis and considers how the market has evolved over the last year.

This GigaOm Radar report examines 15 of the top managed Kubernetes solutions in the market and compares offerings against the capabilities (table stakes, key features, and emerging features) and non-functional requirements (business criteria) outlined in the companion Key Criteria report. Together, these reports provide an overview of the category and its underlying technology, identify leading managed Kubernetes offerings, and help decision-makers evaluate these solutions so they can make a more informed investment decision.

GIGAOM KEY CRITERIA AND RADAR REPORTS

The GigaOm Key Criteria report provides a detailed decision framework for IT and executive leadership assessing enterprise technologies. Each report defines relevant functional and non-functional aspects of solutions in a sector. The Key Criteria report informs the GigaOm Radar report, which provides a forward-looking assessment of vendor solutions in the sector.

GigaOm Sonar Report for Data Processing Units (DPUs)

Justin Warren — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 16:00:33 +0000

A data processing unit (DPU) is a hardware accelerator, typically provided as a generic peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) card to be installed in commodity x86 or ARM servers. A main function of DPUs is to offload specialized compute tasks from the general-purpose system central processing unit (CPU), improving the overall performance and efficiency of the entire system. These compute tasks are data-centric, frequently focusing on network, security, and storage acceleration, compared to the graphical, floating-point, and matrix-math focus of GPUs and the tensor-math focus of tensor processing units (TPUs).

DPUs help organizations build IT infrastructure that is denser, faster, more efficient, and more cost effective than alternate approaches.

Figure 1 highlights the difference between traditional servers (left) and those with DPUs (right).

Figure 1. Comparison of Traditional and DPU-Based Server Configurations

DPUs are typically implemented using one or more of the following technologies:

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)
Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs)
Low-power system-on-chip (SoC) designs, often using ARM-based designs
Proprietary system-on-chip (SoC) designs

More sophisticated implementations use a combination of these technologies because each approach has different benefits and tradeoffs that align with different use cases. All four share some core characteristics, such as a high degree of internal parallelism that ensures consistent low latency and high throughput.

DPUs are programmable, an important feature that helps to distinguish them from other options. The relative ease with which DPUs can be modified after deployment helps them remain relevant to changing customer needs by supporting the latest protocols, algorithms, and features.

For an enterprise, it is important that the DPU integrates well with the operating system (OS), hypervisor, and other software components in the system. For more specialized workloads, such as high-performance computing (HPC) or artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), the availability of software development kits (SDKs) helps customers to customize the solution to better suit their specific needs.

DPUs accelerate a number of tasks, including network and storage functions related to data protection, encryption and security, data footprint optimization, and high availability. In some cases, DPUs provide additional functions such as key-value stores that can replace commonly used data stores. Some vendors also include programming libraries to support compute-intensive tasks that need high degrees of parallelism and throughput.

This GigaOm Sonar provides an overview of DPU vendors and their available offerings, equipping IT decision-makers with the information they need to select the best solution for their business and use case requirements.

GigaOm Sonar Report for Storage as a Service (STaaS)

Justin Warren — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 15:00:15 +0000

Storage as a service (STaaS) is a subscription-based model for data storage that provides customers with a cloud-like experience in terms of flexibility, system management, and provisioning for their on-premises infrastructure. It contrasts with more traditional purchasing models by which customers acquire hardware, software, and services, and manage the infrastructure on their own. Table 1 compares STaaS to more traditional purchasing models.

Table 1. Comparison Between Traditional and STaaS Purchasing Models

	Traditional	STaaS
	CapEx	OpEx

Overall TCO

	Exceptional: Outstanding focus and execution
	Capable: Good but with room for improvement
	Limited: Lacking in execution and use cases
	Not applicable or absent

Enterprises are now very familiar with cloud consumption models, and they are always looking for ways to bring that advantage to on-premises infrastructure. For most enterprises, flexibility is an increasingly important component of their IT strategy.

From a technical perspective, it is now clear that the hybrid cloud is the preferred approach for most organizations, and there is an accompanying need to rationalize and standardize as many processes as possible to enable a seamless experience. In some cases, perhaps because of specific industry regulations, particular infrastructure needs, or simply company policy, IT organizations can’t always adopt a full hybrid-cloud approach. For these organizations, it is more important than ever to use cloud-like options to provide the same level of agility that their competitors enjoy. In this respect, STaaS—or, more generally, on-premises infrastructure as a service (OIaaS)—is an option that should be considered more often.

STaaS, or OIaaS, is just one of the many purchasing options now available. Customers can choose to adopt it as their principal IT infrastructure acquisition approach, but most organizations will likely choose a more balanced approach that aligns the purchasing model with specific business needs and use cases.

The STaaS model is also attractive for local service providers and managed service providers (MSPs) who can quickly adapt their infrastructure and spending to the number of customers and projects under management.

In Table 2, we take a quick look at the differences among the major purchasing approaches. STaaS suits customers seeking maximum flexibility and consumption pricing, and those who are comfortable leaving the majority of infrastructure management decisions to their chosen vendor.

How We Got Here

Over the past few years, many organizations have tried a cloud-only approach, only to discover that the cloud isn’t going to meet all their needs, especially when the infrastructure is complex and they’re constrained by legacy applications that were designed well before cloud paradigms came along. The upshot is that the vast majority of enterprises are targeting a hybrid approach that can give them the best of both worlds: the flexibility of the cloud and the cost efficiency of bulk on-site purchasing. The public cloud is very flexible but tends to be relatively expensive, while on-premises infrastructure is generally more rigid but has lower and more predictable costs. To meet customers’ needs, cloud providers have introduced a series of on-premises and hybrid cloud solutions to bring their services directly into the customer’s data center.

While the cloud computing industry has been trying to move its offerings onto customer premises, storage vendors have adapted their solutions to make them easier to manage and consume. Financial options like leasing and renting are no longer enough to cover all possible scenarios and tend to be quite rigid when changes need to be made to the infrastructure. For example, although customers can expand the infrastructure and add new hardware to the account, there is no easy way to return unused hardware. Additionally, hardware that has been purchased at various times is often difficult to manage in terms of warranty, services, support, and system lifespan.

Fortunately, the storage industry has come up with a number of improvements. Many vendors improved support plans by adding free hardware updates, which also helped to eliminate end-of-life issues with their hardware and stave off competitive threats. This support was facilitated by the huge amount of data that vendors have collected from systems in the field.

For customers, the benefit of these improvements is clear: they remove a number of complexities in system lifecycle management. With better control over system lifespan, proactive support made possible by analytics, and customers becoming comfortable with vendors taking more control of their storage system, the introduction of STaaS has been a natural evolution of modern storage.

GigaOm Sonar Report for Data Security Storage Posture (DSSP) for Primary Storage

Justin Warren — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 23:01:09 +0000

Data is a vital component of every important enterprise process. It must be protected from damage, loss, and unauthorized exposure, both accidental and malicious. Yet the threats to data proliferate with the increasing complexity of modern information systems. The threats of ransomware and industrial espionage are particularly salient to enterprises in the current environment. What was once perceived as low risk has become an existential threat to many organizations with substantial data holdings.

This report seeks to investigate these questions:

How are vendors addressing the myriad challenges of ensuring data is kept private, secure, and undamaged?
How are vendors making the security and integrity of data easier to achieve?
What are primary storage vendors doing to ease the burden on customers?

Vendors with a leading data storage security posture (DSSP) are aware of the systemic challenges of securing data in the modern enterprise and they understand that there is no single, universally correct way to secure and protect data. Instead, they provide a layered set of options that each seek to address part of the challenge while also working together to provide a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

For customers that face the greatest threats, a full suite of options is available. For others, the right balance of risk, cost, and complexity will involve a different set of choices. Leading vendors recognize and understand this reality, and provide options accordingly. They understand that your threat model is not my threat model. They assist customers in understanding their own situations and choosing wisely from the available options.

GigaOm Sonars for Data Storage Security Posture

Due to the variety of methods by which customers and vendors are seeking to solve this challenge, we have divided the DSSP landscape into three reports based on customer use cases:

Primary storage systems: Solutions that focus on primary storage services, usually deployed as, or on, hardware appliances, such as storage arrays.
Data protection systems: Solutions that focus on the backup and recovery of data.
Data security infrastructure: An emerging category of solutions that have a broader focus than primary data services or backup and recovery. They blend techniques from primary storage and backup and recovery and introduce novel methods from other fields such as information security.

Figure 1 shows the vendors and DSSP systems covered in each report.

Figure 1. Vendors Included in Each GigaOm Sonar for DSSP

The evolving nature of data security is reshaping traditional market categories. Ransomware in particular has vendors in one category incorporating techniques that were once left to those in another. For example, backup and recovery systems sometimes act as primary storage for rapid recovery, and intrusion detection methods that were once left to the information security department are now being incorporated into storage products of all kinds.

This GigaOm Sonar provides prospective customers with an alternative way to evaluate DSSP solutions in the context of these broader market changes, equipping IT decision-makers with the information they need to select the best solution for their business and use case requirements.

GigaOm Radar for Kubernetes for Edge Computing

Justin Warren — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 16:21:53 +0000

Connected and smart devices are now in widespread use across all areas of business. In every industry—from retail to transport and logistics, healthcare to manufacturing, remote wind farms to autonomous vehicles—embedded computing devices are generating vast quantities of data.

This data is being created in a wide variety of locations well outside traditional data centers and cloud environments. Processing this data in traditional, more centralized locations presents a variety of challenges. Connectivity can be intermittent and unreliable. Bandwidth is constrained, and latency due to transport over great distances is high. These limitations mean that it makes sense to process data closer to where it is being created.

As the de facto standard for container orchestration at scale, Kubernetes, when adopted at the edge, brings the same orchestration and management capabilities that have made it so popular in cloud and data center environments. The diverse use cases and varied challenges of edge environments sorely need something like Kubernetes to help customers manage the complexity.

This GigaOm Radar report highlights key Kubernetes for edge computing vendors and equips IT decision-makers with the information needed to select the best fit for their business and use case requirements. In the corresponding GigaOm report “Key Criteria for Evaluating Kubernetes for Edge Computing Solutions,” we describe in more detail the key features and metrics that are used to evaluate vendors in this market.

How to Read this Report

GigaOm Radar for Managed Kubernetes

Justin Warren — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 16:19:25 +0000

Enterprise application developers have been using microservices approaches for several years now. What started with low-risk, non-critical exploratory applications at a small scale has now moved to large-scale adoption in business-critical applications. Similarly, Kubernetes has moved from smaller proof-of-concept implementations to critical infrastructure supporting these microservices-based applications.

Yet, Kubernetes remains a complex platform to operate and one that is continuously changing. Updates are relatively frequent, providing bug fixes and new features, though the pace has slowed somewhat as Kubernetes matures as a platform. For IT organizations accustomed to the relative stability and slower pace of change of more established platforms, this complexity and rate of change presents significant challenges. Keeping up-to-date with the latest version of Kubernetes, including security patches, is a significant operations burden on its own. When the substantial project ecosystem surrounding Kubernetes is included in updates, the operational challenge can overwhelm otherwise capable IT teams.

The reality is that most organizations are not prepared to work at this pace for a sustained period of time. Managing existing workload demands is already a challenge without the additional burden of learning new skills. Organizations are therefore faced with a difficult choice: reject Kubernetes completely and compromise developers’ desire to use microservices patterns (likely a career-limiting move), muddle through on their own as best they can with what they have, or look for outside assistance.
