Kriten, Evolvere Technologies’ API-driven execution platform, provides organisations with a scalable and auditable solution to address some of the major inhibitors of IT automation adoption.
To optimise operations, organisations are working towards a future where time-to-value is minimised, and dynamic infrastructure is the norm. However, the transition from traditional static infrastructure to modern automated solutions in data centres and public clouds brings a new set of challenges. Several questions arise for infrastructure teams, such as:
Where are scripts run?
How can we securely provide software access?
How do we keep track of usage?
At Evolvere, we understand these challenges, as we’ve encountered them firsthand through our partnerships. That’s why we created Kriten, an execution platform designed to address these issues. Kriten runs user-defined code in containers on a Kubernetes cluster, providing authenticated API access to allow users to run scripts with ease.
