We at CloudLinux strive to provide our partners and customers with the most valuable and dependable solutions available. Unfortunately, at this time, we have decided to end sales and support for one of our products, KuberDock. After an extensive research, speaking with our customers, and re-evaluating the technology and the market, we have decided that additional investment into KuberDock’s development is not viable.
The decision to discontinue KuberDock did not come lightly and was based on several factors. Docker technologies still show significant momentum, but despite this high potential, its adoption in the hosting industry was considerably lower than expected. Prepackaged Docker applications have not proven to be easily understood and consumed by the typical end-user. We have seen this across all of our KuberDock customers - marketing new applications to their customers proved to be a much more difficult task given the state of this mature and competitive industry. We understand that you have invested resources in offering KuberDock-based solutions, and we apologize for this inconvenience.
Please note important dates for this EOS/EOL process:
In order to help you manage the end-of-life transition, we will continue full 24x7 support of KuberDock until January 31st, 2017. After that date, and for the next three months until April 30th, we will provide limited support with response times of up to 2 business days.
As of Thursday, January 26th 2017, KuberDock will no longer be offered for sale. The ability to try and/or purchase it will be removed from our website and the CLN shortly.
We are stopping the development of the KuberDock platform effective immediately. The product is now free for the current KuberDock customers and can be used indefinitely (without support beyond the next 3 months). We are tentatively planning to make the platform available on GitHub as an Open Source solution sometime in February. All our KuberDock developers will be transitioned to various teams to continue improvement of our flagship products, CloudLinux OS and KernelCare, as well as rapidly expand the development of the new Imunify360.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you, but we hope you understand why we had to come to this difficult but necessary decision. Please feel free to contact us at sales [at] cloudlinux.com with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Igor Seletskiy
CloudLinux CEO
