Cisco Container Platform

Container management for a multicloud world

Everybody loves using containers.

Nobody loves deploying, monitoring, and managing them -- especially across multiple public and private clouds. There are simply too many tools and too little standardization.

Cisco Container Platform (CCP) automates the repetitive things and simplifies the complex ones so everyone can just go back to enjoying the magic of containers.

Benefits of Cisco Container Platform

Flexible

Keep your options open. CCP is based on open source components (100% upstream Kubernetes, Docker, Contiv, Nginx, etc.) so there’s no lock-in. And it runs anywhere, with consistent deployment across hyperconverged infrastructure, VMs, bare metal, public, and private cloud.

Smart

Ditch all that container-related busy work for good. CCP automates repetitive tasks like installing Kubernetes and Docker, installing analytics tools, creating clusters, load balancing, curating the OS, and even updating the distribution.

Production-grade

This robust solution was jointly developed by an enterprise-level partnership between Cisco and Google Cloud. It is managed and supported by Cisco’s world class engineering, services, and support teams. One single TAC to support the entire stack.

Turnkey

Get started fast, with a single, integrated stack that addresses container orchestration, management, networking, load balancing, storage, security, and analytics and in a simple, easy to use platform.

Features

Simple GUI-driven menu system to deploy clusters

You don’t have to know the technical details of Kubernetes to deploy a cluster. Just fill in the questions and CCP will do the work.

Additional features include:

  • Ability to deploy Kubernetes clusters in air-gapped sites
  • Choice of networking solutions
  • Automated monthly updates
  • Built-in visibility and monitoring
  • Preconfigured persistent volume storage
  • Deploy EKS clusters using CCP control plane
  • Pre-integrated Istio

Case study: Clemson University

As a researcher I don't want to spend six months gearing up to learn how to use the system. This is a way for us to learn one system, and be able to run jobs across one or more clouds.
