Canonical has announced the arrival of Managed Apps, a service that will allow enterprises to have mission-critical apps deployed and operated by the firm as a fully managed service.<\/p>\n

Covering ten of the world’s most widely used\u00a0open source<\/a>\u00a0apps, Managed Apps removes the need for enterprises to contract with multiple vendors,\u00a0Canonical explained<\/a>, while customers also benefit from support for their underlying infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The service will cover ten widely used cloud-native database and LMA (logging, monitoring and alerting) apps on multi-cloud Kubernetes and also on virtual machines across bare-metal,\u00a0public and private cloud<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At launch, those managed databases include MySQL, InfluxDB, PostgreSQL,\u00a0MongoDB<\/a>, as well as ElasticSearch Open Source Mano and Kafka. The service will also cover demand-based scaling, high availability for fault tolerance, security patching and updates.<\/p>\n

Managed Apps are also backed by SLAs for uptime, round-the-clock break\/fix response, while businesses can monitor app health through an integrated LMA stack and dashboard, which includes Grafana, Prometheus and Graylog.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the initiative will allow DevOps teams to focus on delivering business value instead of typical time-consuming tasks thanks to the streamlined approach to infrastructure maintenance, the firm explained.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n“As organisations increasingly move to a cloud-native approach, they can be slowed down by spending too much time on the underlying management of their cloud and its applications,” commented Stephan Fabel, director of Product at Canonical.<\/p>\n

“Our Managed Apps give them the freedom to focus on business priorities, with the confidence that their apps are reliably maintained, secure and can scale to production needs.”<\/p>\n

Managed Apps also offers full lifecycle management that includes resource-scaling based on changes in demand, as well offering high availability by default. Canonical’s managed services also have MSPAlliance CloudVerify certification, the firm said, which is equivalent to SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001\/ISO 27002 and GDPR compliance.<\/p>\n

The software firm also revealed that it plans to expand the number of open source apps covered by Managed Apps to further improve performance accountability. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
