We are getting closer to the end of 2024 and the Konstruct team wants to wish everyone happy holidays, no matter what you are celebrating 🎉

Like many of you, the last quarter of the year is synonymous with KubeCon North America. For cloud native lovers like us, the KubeCon experience is hard to replace. The one year that we didn't go, we definitely felt the FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). We're very excited to be on our way to Salt Lake City next week.

Colony is Konstruct’s new bare metal product that gives you the ability to repurpose your data center hardware into new operating systems and Kubernetes clusters.

We've begun a new cultural chapter under our new ownership. We adopted a 4-day work week at Konstruct. We've been fully remote for the last 5 years. It's been 6 months on the 4-day schedule and our team is stronger and more focused on our mission than ever before.

Last week we celebrated an incredible flurry of news by inviting our whole team out to Berlin, Germany for the Navigate Europe 2024 conference that we were sponsoring, and then tacked on an offsite while we were all in the city.

The popular Kubefirst Platform has been creating free and instant Kubernetes gitops platforms in your cloud for over 5 years. It's an incredibly fast way to get started on your next platform with a community of support.

The branding at kubefirst has been a really fun story that's far from over. In the coming months, there will be more changes to come, as our company adjusts for our new brighter future, and our product line expands to accommodate the needs of the kubernetes platform building community.

I'm excited to share that Kubefirst has been acquired and will be joining the Civo family in our shared mission to simplify cloud computing complexities. This acquisition will bring together two incredible engineering forces, fostering innovation and collaboration in cloud computing and the platform engineering space. Our partnership will strengthen our team and operational posture so we can meet the needs of our growing community, client base, and technology partners.
