Krates is a developer friendly, open source platform (based on Kontena Classic) for orchestrating applications that are run on Docker containers. It simplifies deploying and running containerized applications on any infrastructure. By leveraging technologies such as Docker, Container Linux and Weave Net, it provides complete solution for organizations of any size.
Krates is built to maximize developer happiness; it is designed for application developers and therefore does not require ops teams to setup or maintain. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for organizations without aspiration to configure and maintain scalable Docker container infrastructure.
To accelerate and break barriers for containerized application development, Krates features some of the most essential technologies built-in such as:
- Multi-host, multi AZ container orchestration
- Overlay network technology by Weaveworks
- Zero-downtime dynamic load balancing
- Abstraction to describe services running in containers
- Private Docker image repository
- Kontena Vault - a secure storage for managing secrets
- VPN access to backend containers
- Heroku-like application deployment workflow
Krates supports any application that can run in a Docker container, and can run on any machine that supports CoreOS. You can run Krates on the cloud provider of your choice or on your own servers. We hope you enjoy!
