Mirantis + Intel and Google to package OpenStack into Docker containers to be managed by Kubernetes.

At the center of stakes, we have: leverage Kubernetes in Fuel to turn OpenStack into a true microservice application, bridging the gap between legacy infrastructure software and the next generation of application development.

We also have: a new delivery model that allows faster consumption of updates, help to accelerate the deployment of tens of thousands of new clouds, and Kubernetes container orchestration to automate OpenStack operations at scale.

In effect, based on the reality that, Docker emerges as the standard container image format and Kubernetes as the standard for container orchestration, Mirantis in collaboration with Google and Intel is evolving the architecture of the purpose-built lifecycle management tool for OpenStack, Fuel, and related OpenStack projects, to enable the use of Kubernetes as orchestration engine; package OpenStack into Docker containers to be managed by Kubernetes.
