Kubera Propel is based on open-source container attached storage project, OpenEBS, which the company started and continues to lead.

Kubera Chaos is based on open-source Kubernetes native Chaos Engineering project, Litmus Chaos, which the firm also started and leads in collaboration with Intuit, Amazon Web Services, and others.

Volterra, Inc., provider of distributed cloud services, recently standardized upon Kubera Propel to provide distributed data and storage services in their widely deployed VoltStack product across multi-cloud, edge, and network-based use cases.

“After an extensive review of options for Kubernetes-based storage and storage management, Volterra selected MayaData’s Kubera Propel and OpenEBS thanks in part to its vibrant open source community and strong performance,” said Pranav Dharwadkar, VP, products, Volterra.

Kubera Propel capabilities include:

• Performance – benchmarks for Kubera Propel have shown that it imparts very little overhead vs. the theoretical maximum performance of underlying systems; one recent benchmark showed in excess of 3 million IO/s via the use of Intel Optane drives

• Intuitive GUI focused on initial deployments and on troubleshooting

• Easy to understand per use and per node pricing – with all pricing published to ensure transparency users can pay per GB/hour and per GB/month for Kubernetes storage using Volterra’s distributed cloud services billing capabilities.

Okteto, Inc., cloud for Kubernetes developers, recently standardized on the use of Kubera Chaos to enable Kubernetes native chaos engineering for their users and customers.

Ramiro Berrelleza, CEO and founder, Okteto, said: “We have seen tremendous demand for chaos engineering projects integrated into and operating on top of Kubernetes. We selected MayaData’s Kubera Chaos for our own use and as a solution simply consumable by our customers, because it is easy to operate and extend, and because the community is open and growing quickly.”

Kubera Chaos has a similar user experience and pricing model to Kubera Propel. In addition, it is based upon the Litmus Chaos project. The open source foundation of Litmus means both it and Kubera Chaos come with community tested and verified chaos tests, out-of-the-box. Users can simply select and implement chaos charts within particular namespaces or more broadly across their environment.

Kubera Propel and Chaos are each available from the company and in conjunction with partners including AWS, Digital Ocean, Platform 9, Volterra, Wipro, Container Solutions, and on the RedHat Container Marketplace and others.

Customers that purchase an initial license of Kubera Propel or Chaos during 2020 will receive their third month free. A free tier for individual use is also available.
