“k0smotron has fundamentally changed the game for Kubernetes cluster management by running control planes in the management cluster,” said Jussi Nummelin, senior principal engineer, Mirantis. “This recognition by InfoWorld validates the innovation and impact k0smotron represents for organizations that need to manage Kubernetes clusters at scale across any environment, with simplicity and precision.”

k0smotron is engineered to make life simpler for Kubernetes platform engineers and operators. It leverages Kubernetes Cluster API to enable agile declarative cluster lifecycle management on any Cluster API-supported infrastructure that includes public and private clouds, bare metal data centers, branch office server rooms, and edge devices. k0smotron provides a Kubernetes-native single point of control for multi-cluster operations at scale – enabling organization-wide standardization of platform capabilities, helping ensure security, compliance, and resilience, and abstracting underlying clouds and infrastructures to enable portability and help users avoid vendor lock-in.

“k0smotron brings a fresh, smart way to manage Kubernetes more efficiently,” said InfoWorld’s Judges. “It’s a clever improvement that makes existing systems work much better.”
