IBM WebSphere
IBM WebSphere Liberty and Application Server (WAS) are part of JSphere Suite for Java, a portfolio of products including application runtimes, modernization tooling, and developer productivity IDE extensions that enable you to rapidly modernize enterprise Java applications and create new cloud-native applications, with support for on-premise and major public cloud deployments; in virtual machines, containers and Kubernetes.
Canonical MicroK8s
MicroK8s is pure upstream Kubernetes, not a subset. We keep it small with sensible choices that just work. That makes a quick install, with easy upgrades and great security — and leaves your options open later.
