Curious about the price.
This appears the first significant acquisition of a k8s ecosystem start-up. (Remember the hadoop frenzy) The price might set a sentiment for the entire market segment for a while.
- AlphaSite 6y agoHeltio or CoreOS both predate this.
- filmgirlcw 6y agoDeis too. And Deis was acquired twice, first by Engine Yard and then by Microsoft.
- justicezyx 6y agoHeltio AFAIK is mostly a educational and consulting business? They dont have a kubernetes product, right? CoreOS dont have a kubernetes product either, right?
- rossmohax 6y agoCoreOS had Tectonic
- justicezyx 6y agoOh right, I forgot that. I think at the point they were acquired, Tectonic was at very early stage. I could be wrong.
- cpitman 6y agoI assume that was a typo for "Heptio", who were acquired by VMware in 2018.
- AlphaSite 6y agoYes, Heptio, sorry.
