Description
Helios serves as a Docker orchestration platform designed for the deployment and management of containers across a wide array of servers. It offers both an HTTP API and a command-line interface, enabling users to interact seamlessly with the servers that host their containers. In addition, Helios maintains a record of significant events within your cluster, capturing details such as deployments, restarts, and version updates. The binary version of Helios is specifically compiled for Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, though it is also compatible with any platform that supports at least Java 8 and a current version of Maven 3. Users can utilize helios-solo to set up a local environment featuring both a Helios master and agent. Helios adopts a pragmatic approach; while it may not aim to address every problem at once, it is committed to delivering solid performance with the features it currently offers. Consequently, certain functionalities, like resource limits and dynamic scheduling, are not yet implemented. At this stage, the focus is primarily on solidifying CI/CD use cases and the related tools, but there are plans to eventually incorporate dynamic scheduling, composite jobs, and other advanced features in the future. The evolution of Helios reflects its dedication to continuous improvement and responsiveness to user needs.
Description
Platform9 Private Cloud Director turns existing servers and storage into a fully featured private cloud. It provides a fast and efficient method for organizations to migrate away from VMware, with minimal disruption. Enterprise IT teams get a familiar virtualization management experience and a true drop-in replacement for VMware vSphere features, offering all critical enterprise features out of the box: Virtual Machine (VM) High Availability, live migration (vMotion equivalent), Dynamic Resource Rebalancing (VMware DRS equivalent), VM cloning, snapshots, templates, software-defined networking, and secure multi-tenancy.
Unlike other solutions that may require proprietary hyperconverged infrastructure or re-platforming to Kubernetes, Private Cloud Director works with existing environments—including servers from Dell, HPE, Lenovo, and storage systems from NetApp, Tintri, Pure Storage, and more. Private Cloud Director can be deployed as a fully self-managed solution, a SaaS-managed service, or in air-gapped environments, giving IT teams complete control over their operating model.
With Platform9’s free vJailbreak tool, enterprises can perform automated migrations of entire VMware vSphere clusters to Private Cloud Director—including complex VM configurations, multiple datastores, and advanced network policies—at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional approaches.
Private Cloud Director supports both VMs and container workloads on a single unified platform, enabling a gradual transition to cloud-native architecture without disrupting current operations.
Private Cloud Director can be deployed flexibly as a fully self-managed solution, a SaaS-managed service, or in air-gapped environments.
