The renowned German company SUSE brings us the CaaS platform as part of its powerful infrastructure. As you know, SUSE is engaged in a fierce battle with Red Hat for the enterprise operating system market. This battle drives them to constantly innovate and forge alliances with third parties to offer the best products to their customers for servers, mainframes, and supercomputers—the primary target market for SUSE Enterprise Linux and RHEL.
Well, it has been announced from China that the CaaS Platform , or Containers as a Service platform, is being launched, drawing a parallel with cloud services like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. In this case, the acronym stands for Container as a Service. Essentially, it's a development and hosting platform for container-based applications and services. This solution is just one more piece in the extensive range of innovations offered by SUSE, enabling its customers to enjoy the best possible experiences.
Companies are looking to increase business agility and need the best solutions, which is why in this sector you must be competitive or you lose important clients. In this case, CaaS focuses on virtualization technologies, which are in high demand today, even more so with the boom in cloud computing. Specifically, it's virtualization using the well-known containers we've discussed here on numerous occasions when talking about fantastic projects like Docker, CoreOS, and others.
As we've learned, SUSE's CaaS Platform is based on three fundamental pillars. One is orchestration through the open-source Kubernetes project; another is the SUSE MicroOS operating system , designed specifically for microservices; and of course, containers. By the way, for those unfamiliar with MicroOS, you can find more information on the official SUSE website . SUSE had already been working on this project for months—an operating system based on SUSE Enterprise Linux—with the first signs of its existence appearing earlier this year…
