# Apcera

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/apcera/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Apcera was an enterprise container and policy management platform founded in 2012 by Derek Collison, offering a "trusted cloud" runtime that layered fine-grained, policy-driven governance over workloads, containers, and services across hybrid infrastructure. Backed by a16z and DCVC, the company took a majority investment from Ericsson in 2015, was fully acquired by Ericsson in 2016, and the platform was subsequently wound down around 2017. The company is defunct - its primary domain (apcera.com) no longer resolves to a company site (it 301-redirects to an unrelated third party), and there is no live developer portal, API documentation, OpenAPI definition, or reachable API host to enrich. This profile is retained as a historical portfolio-lead record only.
