Deis to Join Microsoft
Congrats to Gabe and the whole Deis team on the acquisition.<p>For folks not familiar with Helm, it&#x27;s basically apt-get for Kubernetes, but with the ability to deploy complex multi-tier systems. It has now graduated out of the Kubernetes incubator.<p>And their Workflow product (also open source), is basically the smallest piece of software that lets you run Heroku buildpacks on top of Kubernetes. So, you can get a 12-factor PaaS workflow, and still have the full Kubernetes API underneath if and when you need it.<p>Update: And I left out my all-time favorite piece of marketing collateral, their Children&#x27;s Illustrated Guide to Kubernetes (available both as children&#x27;s book and video): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;deis.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2016&#x2F;kubernetes-illustrated-guide&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;deis.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2016&#x2F;kubernetes-illustrated-guide&#x2F;</a><p>(Disclosure: I&#x27;m the executive director of CNCF and Gabe has been a super valuable member.)
