Traefik Labs Inc. is solidifying its position as a stabilizing force in a rapidly evolving cloud-native landscape.

Traefik’s Sudeep Goswami discusses unified cloud-native operations with theCUBE.

A key theme for Traefik this year has been deepening alignment with cloud infrastructure heavyweights. The company has expanded its collaborations with both Nutanix Inc. and Oracle Corp., reinforcing its mission to help organizations operate anywhere across hybrid, multicloud and sovereign environments, according to Sudeep Goswami (pictured), chief executive officer of Traefik.

“At this KubeCon event, I was really pleased to go deeper with two of our partners: Nutanix and Oracle,” he said. “With Nutanix, what we did was launch this concept of a unified application intelligence, tying [virtual machines], containers and serverless together. Traefik provides Layer 7; Nutanix provides the infrastructure and Layer 4.

Goswami spoke with theCUBE’s Paul Nashawaty at the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA event, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed Traefik and its strategy of bold partnerships, AI-driven innovations and a lifeline for users facing Kubernetes ingress turbulence. (* Disclosure below.)

The demand for a unified cloud-native operating model

Across conversations during the event, one message resonated loudly: Organizations want a single, coherent operating model that works everywhere. The boom in hybrid, multicloud and sovereign deployments has only amplified that need, according to Goswami.

“What customers are looking for is to be able to run their infrastructure wherever they want,” he said. “They want a unified operating model. And that’s why this becomes very important because what Traefik does is operate at the application layer. Therefore, working with infrastructure providers like Nutanix and Oracle makes sense because we can make that same architecture available wherever the users want.”

Traefik’s long-standing commitment to full declarative configuration and infrastructure-as-code aligns it with the industry’s direction — especially as enterprises focus on day-two operations, cost containment and risk reduction. Whether workloads run in public cloud, private cloud or fully air-gapped environments, Traefik aims to deliver the same predictable experience.

“People are looking for options because this thing is now entering the next phase of optimization,” Goswami said. “A lot of trials have happened. People have figured out how public cloud works, how private cloud works. Now, I think with cost being the overarching theme, people are really trying to sort out cost compliance and risk. If you look at all of that under the umbrella, people want optionality.”
