Mirantis open sources Rockoon to enhance OpenStack lifecycle management on Kubernetes

Mirantis has open sourced Rockoon, a tool designed to streamline OpenStack management on Kubernetes. Although Rockoon isn't a new project, it has been used within Mirantis OpenStack on Kubernetes for years. It was originally developed to facilitate seamless OpenStack upgrades, enabling organizations to continuously update their deployments without service disruption. In this episode, Randy Bias, VP of Open Source Strategy and Technology at Mirantis, discusses Rockoon’s role in OpenStack lifecycle management, its origins, and the company’s broader open source philosophy.

Rockoon was designed as a native Kubernetes controller to orchestrate both the control plane and data plane of OpenStack. Bias highlights its ability to integrate with Kubernetes’ existing architecture, which can improve scalability, and live migration while simplifying the management of OpenStack components. Bias discusses how the lessons learned from Rockoon’s development have also influenced Mirantis’ enterprise Kubernetes offering, Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE).
