MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Capital One
Financial Corp. today announced the beta release of Critical Stack,
a container orchestration platform designed to help enterprises
adopt containerized infrastructure at scale in the
cloud.
The use of containers and microservices is on the rise as more
organizations recognize the automation, speed and cost savings
benefits of modern computing infrastructure.
For large enterprises, especially those in highly
regulated industries, security and compliance considerations are
paramount. Critical Stack, powered by Capital One, was designed to
help enterprises more fully automate compliance and security
controls, as well as orchestrate streamlined deployment and
configuration of apps and infrastructure in the cloud.
"With Critical Stack, our goal is to help more
organizations take advantage of the benefits of containerized
infrastructure without sacrificing security, compliance, and
simplicity," said Liam Randall,
co-founder of Critical Stack Inc, who joined Capital One through an
acquisition in 2016. "At Capital One, we have standardized on
microservices and containerization in the cloud and recognize the
needs that large enterprises face as they modernize their computing
infrastructure. We believe that Critical Stack will help other
companies adopt containers at scale."
Critical Stack is a standalone container orchestration
platform that is compatible with open source container management
systems such as Google's Kubernetes.
"What Critical Stack means to the enterprise is that the
application is the first-class citizen," said Dustin Webber, co-founder and CTO of Critical
Stack. "Critical Stack is designed to empower developers to spend
less time setting up and operating container infrastructure and
more time solving the hard problems that really matter."
As the first U.S. bank to move its core processing to the
public cloud, Capital One has adopted a cloud-first approach to
software development, as well as standardizing on RESTful APIs,
microservices, and containerization in the cloud.

for the beta is available at https://criticalstack.com/.
