We started kubefirst back in 2019 with a mission to provide the world with free instant kubernetes software delivery and infrastructure management platforms. When we decided to open source kubefirst in 2021, a new metric became incredibly relevant to us - the GitHub star.
It’s been a while since we released a new version of our CLI, but it's for a good reason: we were working hard on 2.0. We are really excited to share with you the new major release of the kubefirst platform, which includes a lot of new goodies! For those of you that are new with us, kubefirst delivers instant GitOps platforms so you can have the most popular open source platform tools working together in minutes.
My buddy Jared and I started kubefirst because cloud native platforms take too long to build from scratch. Well, as it turns out, solving that problem also takes a long time - it took us years to mature our instant cloud native platform to the point where we could build a team around it to see the vision through. Over the course of those years, you could pretty regularly find Jared and me on a zoom late at night, waiting for some cloud resources to provision, often killing that time daydreaming about what it would be like to have our platform on the KubeCon floor. Last week, that daydream was realized as our newly acquired project and freshly built team at Kubeshop traveled to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA in Detroit.
In 2017, John Dietz and Jared Edwards met while working together on a cloud engineering team at a real estate big data startup. They were tasked with building an infrastructure management platform and application delivery system built entirely on Kubernetes.
