Hyperd has been merged into Kata (katacontainers.io).

Simply put, it allows you to run multiple-tenants' code (image) over shared infrastructure.

Think about why all public clouds are built with virtualization technology. Multi-tenants require strong isolation, which virtualization promises. Therefore, if we could get strong isolation in container, we can build public cloud with container.

Kata is the merge of ClearContainer and Hyper's runV.

Disclosure: I work at Hyper.sh

We have an open source project for this: github.com/hyperhq/hypernetes. Basically use k8s to schedule hypervisor-based secure containers.

Thanks for the detailed input. They are tremendously valuable.

Part of the reason we chose to open source is that we want the community to innovate. We are continuing to build the feature set, however I need to say that the workflow varies from app to app. Therefore, by providing the base building block and allowing others to create different solutions, we could enable more options to the market.

We don't want to compete with the big providers, instead we open source the tech to enable more container-native clouds, where the world will become a seamless (portable) network for containers (different clouds are different ports with the same image spec and API).

Hi,

I'm one of cofounders of Hyper. Thanks for mentioning us!

I think both ECS and GKE are valid options their segment. Things like ACI and Hyper.sh is more of a container-native IaaS. The on-demand event-driven compute infra is a perfect use case, but it also works for long-running workload (k8s pool), where the difference is that developers only need to consume the k8s api, not the software itself.

Founder kicks in.

The vision is to merge PaaS into IaaS, e.g. a microservice-native cloud. I want to ask more details of the upper-layer features you imagine. Thanks!

Yes, we are looking to expand to Europe, probably Frankfurt or Amsterdam.

I'd like to keep in touch. Could you drop a message to peng at hyper.sh? Thanks.

Price reduction is on the way :)
