Bitnami is a library of installers or software packages for web applications and software stacks as well as virtual appliances. Bitnami is sponsored by Bitrock, a company founded in 2003 in Seville, Spain by Daniel Lopez Ridruejo and Erica Brescia.[1] Bitnami stacks are used for installing software on Linux, Windows, macOS and Solaris.[2] VMware acquired Bitrock, along with its two largest properties, Bitnami and InstallBuilder, on May 15, 2019.[3]
Technology overview
Using automated cloud computing management, Bitnami offers users automated application deployments of open source server apps from IBM Cloud,[4] Oracle Cloud, Amazon EC2, Azure and Google Cloud Platform servers.[5]
Since July 2009 Bitnami also offers ready-to-run virtual machines that contain a minimal and configured Linux operating system. Bitnami offers open source applications as modules for XAMPP package developed by Apache Friends.[6]
On February 13, 2009, Bitnami announced the release of the Enano CMS web stack,[7] which is unique in that, according to Bitnami and to the Enano CMS Project, the stack module was the first to be externally developed.[8]
In February 2010, Bitnami announced the release of Bitnami Cloud Hosting[9] a service that allows deploying Bitnami stacks on the Amazon EC2 cloud, with automatic monitoring and backups.
Since 2019, Bitnami has been part of VMware.[10] VMware announced its intent to acquire Bitnami and proceeded on May 15, 2019.[11]
Broadcom indirectly acquired Bitnami through its acquisition of VMware, which was announced in 2022 and completed in late 2023. Following the acquisition, Broadcom transitioned Bitnami toward a commercial, enterprise-focused model, moving the free community container catalog to an unmaintained legacy repository while placing most actively maintained production images behind paid Bitnami Secure Images offerings by 2025.[12]
