I read the article and the linked blog and I still can't tell what this has over plain Kubernetes deployed on AWS -- what am I missing? > Storage for applications deployed on Supergiant is allocated on high-availability arrays, however, it does not use Kubernetes' persistent volumes. Currently available on AWS, Supergiant uses Amazon's Elastic Block Store (EBS) so that volumes can move freely around the cluster. Kubernetes has EBS support, right? What does Supergiant do better here?

Hi, please refer to the response above to "jamescun". While we do slightly augment a few features of Kubernetes, our main focus is lowering hardware cost, and providing an additional approach to understanding Kubernetes objects.(In an easy way, for new Kubernetes users.) We will be creating additional blog posts over the next few days to describe how we do this. A very advanced user may be totally comfortable using vanilla Kubernetes. Please let me know if you have more questions. Our slack channel is also listed on our website, and we would love to hear your feedback :-)
