Mirantis Recognized as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Container Management

As cloud-native infrastructure transforms to meet the demands of artificial intelligence, big data, and multi-cloud scale, Gartner has named Mirantis a Challenger in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Container Management, which we feel is an incredibly strong placement.

Mirantis is included in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Container Management, we feel, this recognition underscores our growing momentum and reinforces our commitment to delivering enterprise-grade, open source, vendor-neutral solutions designed for the future of AI-driven infrastructure.

Why Mirantis is a Challenger

In the latest Gartner report, you'll discover why Mirantis has been recognized as a Challenger in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. The recognition, we believe, reflects what enterprise customers already know: container management is no longer just about infrastructure, it is about enabling secure, scalable, and simple innovation in order to deploy modern workloads. 

Built for the AI Future

Cloud providers are using k0rdent AI to launch next-generation, GPU-optimized multi-tenant platforms, which many are calling NeoClouds, to monetize GPU capacity and accelerate AI productization. Enterprises use k0rdent to create internal AI factories that centralize governance while enabling rapid developer iteration.

Mirantis k0rdent supports GPU infrastructure from NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and other leading vendors, while also powering AI platforms within the NVIDIA Cloud Partner ecosystem. It manages the full AI infrastructure lifecycle—from bare metal provisioning to model deployment—enabling faster, more reliable delivery of AI workloads.

What’s Coming Next

Mirantis is not slowing down. In the months ahead, we are expanding k0rdent to help organizations scale AI more confidently:

• Improved Composability Modular plug-and-play architecture with ecosystem-native integrations

• AI Lifecycle Automation From model iteration to rollout, less pipeline babysitting

• Smarter Self-Service Policy-aware templates to keep developers fast and compliant

• Advanced GPU Cost Tracking Forecasting and right-sizing for AI infrastructure spend

• AIOps Capabilities Real-time alerts, predictive monitoring, and automated remediation
