SAN JOSE, California,
June 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- MayaData, the creator of the most widely-used open source
Kubernetes-native storage OpenEBS, has received acceptance of
another open-source project LitmusChaos into CNCF Sandbox. With the
acceptance of LitmusChaos into the CNCF, MayaData adds to the
industry's first complete, open-source, solution for using
Kubernetes as a data layer, enabling Kubernetes SREs and platform
teams to develop, deploy, and operate stateful workloads on
Kubernetes faster and more reliably. The complete solution, Kubera,
was announced last week and is free forever for individual usage as
SaaS and also on-premise.
"We are extremely thrilled about building a larger community
around chaos engineering in the CNCF ecosystem for wide adoption of
Litmus. Practicing chaos engineering in a cloud-native way is
essential for faster application delivery and improved resilience
in production," said Uma Mukkara, Co-Founder of MayaData and
sponsor of the Litmus project. "What started as our own tooling for
user success has evolved into an active community, with excellent
contributions and core activities already being led by engineers
from companies as diverse as Intuit, RingCentral, Wipro, Container
Solutions and Zebrium. We'd especially like to thank the
maintainers, contributors, adopters of Litmus, volunteers in the
CNCF community, and specifically, the App-Delivery-SIG whose
feedback and due diligence have helped us tremendously." The
journey of Litmus project from inception to sandbox and the roadmap
is discussed in our blog here
https://blog.mayadata.io/litmuschaos-is-now-a-cncf-sandbox-project.
"Litmus is one of the most promising open-source chaos
engineering frameworks that takes into account proper chaos
engineering principles while providing autonomy and extensibility
to the users," said Andreas Krivas,
an active member of the Litmus community and Lead Cloud-Native
Engineer at Container-Solutions.
LitmusChaos brings chaos engineering to Kubernetes in a
cloud-native way, with a pluggable architecture of different chaos
experiments. LitmusChaos experiments are shared via the
ChaosHub, a place where Developers and Kubernetes SREs share chaos
experiments as Helm charts to improve their own chaos engineering
and share and improve their best practices industry-wide. Popular
charts include experiments to kill pods and containers, hog CPU
usage, and simulate full disks. Experiments can also be tied
together to create complex chaos workflows via integration with
Argo, another CNCF project. There are also project-specific
collections of Chaos charts including those for OpenEBS, Cassandra,
Kafka and CoreDNS.
MayaData is already the largest private company contributor to
the codebase of CNCF projects, trailing only Google, RedHat / IBM,
VMware, and Microsoft. The contribution by MayaData of LitmusChaos
to the CNCF furthers solidifies the position of MayaData as one of
today's leading open-source cloud-native contributors.
MayaData has become the trusted partner for users using
Kubernetes as their data layer thanks to a code first strategy,
that has resulted in thousands of users, active OpenEBS and
LitmusChaos open source projects, and the recent launch of Kubera
as an all in one solution for operations of stateful workloads on
Kubernetes. Customers and users include Bloomberg, Comcast, Arista
Networks, Optoro, Orange, Intuit, Intel and thousands of
others.

MayaData products and services deliver data agility and massive
cost savings - led by Kubera a SaaS solution that simplifies the
operations of Kubernetes as a data plane. MayaData sponsors two
Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects, OpenEBS - the
leading open-source container attached storage solution - and
Litmus - the leading Kubernetes native chaos engineering project,
which was recently donated to the CNCF as a Sandbox project. As of
late June 2020, MayaData is the
fifth-largest contributor to CNCF projects. Well-known users of
MayaData products include the CNCF itself, Bloomberg, Comcast,
