Edera, the first business in the world providing an AI and Kubernetes solution that is safe by design, announced today that it has raised $5 million in startup money.
In addition to contributions from FPV Ventures, Generationship, Precursor Ventures, and Rosecliff Ventures, the funding round was led by 645 Ventures and Eniac Ventures. Angel investors Joe Beda, Filippo Valsorda, Mandy Andress, Jeff Behl, and Nikitha Suryadevara from Kleiner Perkins also provided support.
Container security is about to change thanks to this business infrastructure firm. Edera has revolutionized the IT sector by utilizing a type 1 hypervisor technology to guarantee isolation at the container level. This eliminates the risk of container escapes and fundamentally changes the way containers function.
Thanks to Edera's invention, businesses can now safely run containers on public, private, or on-premise clouds without requiring custom infrastructure or virtualization extensions. With a memory-safe Rust control layer enhancing security, their architecture guarantees that containers, which are handled similarly to virtual machine guests, do not exchange kernel states.
"The original design goals for Kubernetes were for'soft' multi-tenancy where there was a level of trust between users of a cluster," stated Joe Beda, an angel investor and co-creator of the system. However, as Kubernetes has grown more widely used, it has become clear that more robust security measures are required.
"Edera closes this gap by utilizing virtualization to lower costs and, eventually, hazards. It enables Kubernetes to travel to previously uncharted territory!
