    Open Web Alliance Framework + amazee.io's Lagoon = Fully Open Source Web Hosting

    In this month's installment of Radio Cloud Native, Bryan Gruneberg, Solutions Architect from amazee.io (now a Mirantis company), walks you through everything you need to know about the Open Web Alliance (OWA) and open source web hosting. He will cover some background in the beginning to set the stage for amazee.io's Lagoon, a fully open source application delivery platform built on top of Kubernetes - as well as amazee.io's tried and true open source website and AI hosting solutions. Bryan will cover, in detail, the framework laid out in the OWA's Open Web Manifesto, and how organizations can piggy-back on this structure to ensure that their hosting platform is just as open source as their solution. He will also look at the application side of things, exploring how platforms like Drupal, Wordpress, and TYPO3 stack up in comparison to the Open Web Alliance's standards and how you can leverage them in a truly open source, vendor-agnostic way.

    How a SaaS Org Saved 60% Migrating from VMware to Mirantis OpenStack (MOSK)

    In this month's installment, Michael Tillman, cloud native workload expert from Mirantis, will walk you through a real world example of a SaaS company that worked with Mirantis to migrate over 3000 workloads off of VMware onto Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK) - all in just a few short months. The migration was prompted by a massive price increase on the VMware side, which caused this organization to look for a viable alternative solution. Please note, the SaaS company will remain anonymous, but Michael will provide the details needed to see how Mirantis truly made a difference in their recent migration. In addition to the speed at which Mirantis was able to achieve this migration, the SaaS company also saved over 60% in their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), which was achieved by leveraging open source components and implementing a CI/CD strategy that automated as many steps in the provisioning and deployment phases as possible. Furthermore, the SaaS company was able to achieve this migration while maintaining the most rigorous standards of security and compliance, including FIPS 140-2 and FEDRAMP - both required security standards for working with the US Federal Government. Thinking of moving away from VMware? Let Michael explain why that may be a good choice for your organization. A full list of this episode's topics include: Why companies are migrating away from VMwareCommon challenges Org's face before migrationHow Mirantis OpenStack for K8s solves these challengesKey takeaways from the example SaaS company's migrationStrategies for avoiding all types of lock-inSpecifics of the Mirantis migration approachSuccess metrics from the example SaaS company's migrationIf you want to listen to more episodes of Radio Cloud Native, please visit https://www.mirantis.com/radiocloudnative/ to download, or find them wherever you prefer to consume your podcasts.
