  • AKS - Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) the de facto managed Kubernetes service offering the Microsoft's ecosystem.  🌐
  • EKS - Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that is tightly integrated with the AWS ecosystem and its primitives, especially IAM.   🌐
  • GKE - Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is one of the first and still the industry's reference managed Kubernetes implementation.  🌐
  • K0s - An open source and free free solution to install and run Kubernetes across on-prem and public cloud environments.   🌐
  • Karbon - A solution to deploy and manange Kubernetes on-prem by Nutanix, VMWare's number one competitor.  🌐
  • Mesosphere DC/OS - Mesosphere DC/OS is a private cloud environment based on Apache Mesos aimed at running multiple-paradigm workloads (e.g. vanilla Linux, VM-based, vanilla Docker, Kubernetes/Docker, etc)  🌐
  • MicroK8s - A lightweight Kubernetes distribution by Canonical (Ubuntu) that runs on all mainstream operating systems as well as IoT platforms (ARM) including the Raspberry Pi.  🌐
  • Mirantis - The Mirantis Container Cloud, is another player in the on-prem/multi-cloud Kubernetes space, like RedHat OpenShift. Like other vendors, Mirantis packs a number of features on top of the upstream Kubernetes distribution, including "single pane of glass" observability capabilities, among others.  🌐
  • OpenShift Online - RedHat OpenShift Online is a heavily customised managed Kubernetes service that, similarly to what Samsung does to Android, tries to impose a variety of lock-in inducive proprietary services. For example, most DockerHub public images (e.g. Nginx) fail to run because RedHat wants images to run under an random user id rather than root.  🌐
  • RedHat OpenShift - OpenShift is RedHat's answer to the need of a commercially supported Kubernetes implementation for on-premise (private cloud) use cases. Other than commercial support, a number of features are added such as VM orchestration, dashboards, installation of backing services using a "push button" approach and so on.  🌐
  • VMWare Tanzu - Boring VMWare farms become Kuberentes ones, plus multi-cloud support via PKS (Pivotal)  🌐
