Red Kubes, the creator of the Otomi Container Platform, which turns any Kubernetes cluster in any cloud into a real container platform, recently announced the Open Source Otomi Container Platform and $1.45M USD Seed Funding. We sat down with Sander Rodenhuis, Co-Founder and CEO of Red Kubes to talk about the company, the platform, and the seed funding.

“We’re trying to deliver a turnkey solution that can be deployed on any Kubernetes cluster, be it on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. It’s like an add-on for Kubernetes which helps users get everything up and running out of the box,” – Rodenhuis.

Here are some of the topics that we covered in this interview:
