About Fluid

Fluid is an open source cloud infrastructure solution designed to optimize data access and acceleration on Kubernetes environments. It provides a dataset abstraction layer that unifies heterogeneous data sources, enabling multidimensional management of data in cloud-native applications. By leveraging distributed caching and data-aware scheduling, Fluid enhances the performance of data-intensive workloads such as Big Data and AI applications.

Targeted at enterprises operating complex cloud environments, Fluid addresses the challenges of data management and application scheduling by considering both application and dataset characteristics. This results in improved resource utilization, scalability, and observability within Kubernetes clusters. Fluid’s integration with CNCF and its community-driven development model ensure it stays aligned with cloud-native best practices and evolving industry standards.

Related Buyer Guides

Our buyer guides across Cloud Infrastructure. Each one compares the main vendors in its category and what buyers weigh up.

Backup & Disaster Recovery
Evaluate Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, Cohesity, Dell PowerProtect, and Druva against your real RTO and RPO targets — with ransomware resilience, not backup windows, as the deciding criterion.
Cloud Cost Management & FinOps
Compare IBM Apptio Cloudability, VMware Tanzu CloudHealth (Broadcom), Flexera One, Harness, Finout, Zesty, and Vantage on the question this category actually turns on — not whether a dashboard is pretty, but whether shared-cost allocation is accurate, committed-use buying is optimized, and engineering acts on the recommendations.
Cloud Infrastructure & IaaS
Compare AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, IBM Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and DigitalOcean on the one thing the pricing calculator hides — egress, support-tier costs, committed-use discounts, and lock-in — not the on-demand compute rate the demo shows you.
