Curious about the price.

This appears the first significant acquisition of a k8s ecosystem start-up. (Remember the hadoop frenzy) The price might set a sentiment for the entire market segment for a while.

Heltio or CoreOS both predate this.

[filmgirlcw]

Deis too. And Deis was acquired twice, first by Engine Yard and then by Microsoft.

Heltio AFAIK is mostly a educational and consulting business? They dont have a kubernetes product, right?

CoreOS dont have a kubernetes product either, right?

I assume that was a typo for "Heptio", who were acquired by VMware in 2018.

[rossmohax]

CoreOS had Tectonic

[justicezyx]

Oh right, I forgot that. I think at the point they were acquired, Tectonic was at very early stage. I could be wrong.

[AlphaSite]

Yes, Heptio, sorry.
