Akamai Technologies announced this week that it would be offering managed container services for companies seeking to run their workloads closer to users, devices, and sources of data. The offering will be available from the 700-plus cities where Akamai has servers located including more than 4,300 points of presence.
The service will enable customers to run workloads using Akamai's full-stack cloud computing infrastructure including GPUs and VPUs, object storage, managed database service, and network services from locations closer to end users.
"Our new Managed Container Service leverages the entirety of Akamai's global presence, which means customers can take advantage of Akamai's 700-plus cities to run and scale their workloads," said Adam Karon, Akamai COO and GM of its cloud technology group. "As with other services on Akamai Cloud, businesses can maintain predictable costs as their applications scale. This is a critical capability as we strive to become a key platform in enterprise multi-cloud environments."
