Utrecht-based Red Kubes, the creator of Kubernetes production-ready platform Otomi, announced that it has secured €1.1M in a Seed extension round of funding from VC firm Capital Mills.
The Dutch company says it will use the funds to accelerate sales and marketing efforts as well as the overall growth of the platform.
Besides the funding, the company also announced the appointment of Rouven Besters as Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Red Kubes says it focused on the development of Otomi, a first-of-its-kind platform to deliver automation, integration, and configuration of all the required capabilities to use Kubernetes in production out-of-the-box.
Sander Rodenhuis and Maurice Faber founded Red Kubes in 2019 after noticing that organizations are having difficulty keeping up with the increasing complexity of Kubernetes.
To make it easy to get started with Kubernetes, they developed an open-source self-hosted PaaS for Kubernetes.
After years of development, the company created Otomi, an integrated platform delivering & automating all the required capabilities for a production Kubernetes setup.
Red Kubes says that its platform integrates the best open-source tools with automation and self-service, enabling users to transform Kubernetes clusters in any cloud environment into a streamlined production container platform.
As a result, it simplifies the management, configuration, and optimization of Kubernetes, making its usage much simpler and more accessible.
