What is Supergiant? Open Source Infrastructure Autoscaling for Kubernetes. Supergiant is a container management platform built on top of Kubernetes. Supergiant makes it easy to deploy and manage faster, and it reduces hardware expenses. Packing algorithm efficiently matches your overall CPU and RAM needs.

IBM Containers and Supergiant belong to "Containers as a Service" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by IBM Containers are:

• Managed Kubernetes with simplified cluster management from IBM
• Cluster isolation choice (virtual - shared or dedicated compute and bare metal)
• Vulnerability Advisor introspects every layer in each image for known vulnerabilities and configuration weaknesses, as well as live container scanning

On the other hand, Supergiant provides the following key features:
