How it Helps

Building your own application installer is a painstaking arduous task that seems to go on and on forever, and just when you think things are going your way, it all blows up in the customer environment. You'll need to account for challenges including:

Different clouds like AWS, GCP, and Azure, and a dizzying array of instances

Different K8s platforms like Red Hat OpenShift, EKS and RKE, plus different operating systems

Multiple tools and architectures to handle all those complex environments

Limited or zero access to ultra-secure air-gapped locations

Endless back and forth with increasingly frustrated customers

Rapid changes in open source K8s components

Unlimited variability in configurations around ingress, storage, and add-on projects

Inability to issue patches to CVEs in a timely manner or see if they have been applied

Difficulty integrating CI/CD or GitOps processes

Team burnout and increasing fragility of your tools over time

Vendor Success

Sophos Factory has signed clients in military, government, and banking who need on-prem deployments of their DevSecOps platform. They needed scalable delivery to air gapped deployments, deliver self-managed/automatic updates, and control end user licenses and credit consumption. Replicated is enabling their sales team to target these high value customers.
