Percona has renamed its Percona Everest database management tool to OpenEverest, with plans to submit it to the CNCF for vendor-neutral management.

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

Percona is donating its database management tool to the CNCF, renaming it from Percona Everest to OpenEverest. The tool provides a unified interface for provisioning and managing multiple database types (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB) on Kubernetes through a web interface and RESTful API. It uses database-independent custom resource definitions to abstract away database-specific setup routines, allowing admins to manage different databases identically. The move aims to establish OpenEverest as a vendor-neutral, community-led project for Kubernetes data platforms, while Percona founder Peter Zaitsev has formed a new company, Solanica, to provide enterprise support.
