IBM Brings Kubernetes to Bare Metal Cloud Infrastructure

IBM’s cloud platform will now enable developers to create and run Kubernetes containers as a managed service on bare metal cloud infrastructure. Bare metal is just as the name implies, no software. Consumers will provide all the software in the metal cloud. The benefit is that they are incredibly flexible and powerful compared to an in-house or traditional cloud infrastructure. This allows Kubernetes to run in apps and workloads that require incredibly high computing performance. IBM uses large machine learning workloads as an example.

One of the biggest issues with running containers on bare metal nodes was that developers were required to constantly manage the workloads. This prevented bare metal from reaching its potential. The primary appeal is to run apps that require significant computational power. Kubernetes is the perfect option to make the most use out of the infrastructure.

With IBM’s cloud, Kubernetes can fit into any enterprise wanting to utilize bare metal. Kubernetes running on these nodes increases the potential of containers, specifically with advanced machine learning programs.

“Working in the IBM Cloud Container Service, developers can now choose bare metal machine configurations that meet their needs, whether that’s isolation, increased processing capability, or large local disk storage, while taking advantage of the benefits of containers, such as the ability to move data easily across systems or to allow multiple team members to work on multiple parts of an app simultaneously.”
