In this episode of The New Stack Makers, TC Currie talks with Kublr CEO Slava Koltovich about canaries, Kubernetes and operations.

Klotovich, was working in company providing technical services to enterprise clients when Kubernetes hit the scene a few years ago. He saw that most companies who are providing Kubernetes abstraction layers are focused on development, and not so much was being done for operations. Recognizing an opportunity, Kublr was born.

The Kublr products are tuned for the operations environment and for the typical use cases for operations. The teams normally responsible for having applications up and running, for example infrastructure teams and application support groups, have been slower to adopt Kubernetes. Since most open source code comes from developers, not surprisingly, most of the available Kubernetes services are focused on developers. Kublr saw the opportunity to tailor Kubernetes functions for operations.
