AWS re:Invent 2024 is next week, right after a late Thanksgiving when we\u2019re kicking off the last few weeks of a busy year. For many organizations, now is the time to review costs and plan budgets. For many, that means taking a hard look at cloud spend and thinking about how to optimize it. If you\u2019re using Kubernetes and thinking about how to make sure your infrastructure is optimized and<\/em><\/strong> you’re attending re:Invent, come by the NetApp<\/a> booth to learn how Spot<\/a> by NetApp helps you control costs and optimize your infrastructure. As a premier partner, Fairwinds will be spending some time in the NetApp booth, #1748. Join us to learn how Fairwinds Managed Kubernetes-as-a-Service<\/a> can help you implement Spot by NetApp\u2019s Ocean to optimize for cost and performance.<\/p>\n

Better Together<\/h2>\n

Some things just go better together\u2026 chocolate and peanut butter, bacon and eggs, Kubernetes and cost efficiency. Fairwinds and Spot by NetApp\u2019s Ocean<\/a> tackle one of the most pressing issues in cloud computing: cost management<\/a>. Fairwinds is a premier partner because together we offer a comprehensive solution for organizations struggling to maximize their cloud utilization and optimize their Kubernetes management. Spot by NetApp\u2019s Ocean guarantees 99.99% uptime for containers running on Spot Instances, which makes it far easier to take advantage of those discounted rates. Still, it can be challenging to figure out how to best deploy them to make sure it\u2019s set up to make the biggest impact without putting scalability and reliability at risk. This is where the Fairwinds team comes in. We have the Kubernetes software and expertise needed to make the most of your investment.<\/p>\n

A Quick Case Study<\/h3>\n

Zonar, a fleet management technology company, is a perfect example of how effective a partnership between Fairwinds and Spot by NetApp\u2019s Ocean can be. Zonar had previously faced challenges with Kubernetes management and cloud costs, and used Fairwinds to<\/a> migrate multiple applications to Kubernetes and trained the engineering team to write and run cloud-native applications and services. This saved time and money while building in-house Kubernetes expertise.<\/p>\n

By implementing Fairwinds’ Kubernetes governance platform, Fairwinds Insights<\/a>, alongside NetApp’s Ocean by Spot, Zonar was able to make even more improvements to their K8s infrastructure. Today, the Fairwinds Managed Kubernetes-as-a-Service<\/a> manages Zonar\u2019s fleet of Kubernetes Clusters and uses both Ocean and Insights to make software deployment easy and efficient for Zonar<\/a>. This resulted in significant benefits, including:<\/p>\n
