Any Kubernetes, One Console

ACP, OCP, EKS, AKS, GKE — all managed from a single control plane.

Automated Control

Centralized RBAC, policy enforcement, and drift detection with auto-remediation.

Visibility & Cost

Fleet observability and cost management across all clusters.

Massive Scale

Scales to hundreds of clusters across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Scenario 02

Enterprise Security & Compliance

Committed fix SLAs, supply chain protection, runtime threat detection, and centralized policy governance — across every cluster in your fleet.

Active Security

  • Committed security SLAs with prioritized patching across the entire stack
  • Image scanning, SBOM generation, and provenance verification
  • Runtime threat detection and behavioral analysis
  • Network segmentation and workload isolation

Preventive Governance

  • Centralized Kyverno policy management across all clusters
  • Audit trails and automated enforcement
  • Supply chain compliance gates in CI/CD pipelines
  • Drift detection with auto-remediation
Scenario 03

From Code to Production, on One Platform

Complete CI/CD, GitOps, service mesh, managed data services, and serverless — all on the exact same Kubernetes platform. No separate infrastructure.

Build & Deploy

  • Tekton-based CI/CD with Argo CD for declarative GitOps delivery
  • Progressive rollouts — canary, blue-green, traffic splitting via Argo Rollouts
  • Production-ready Backstage developer portal with self-service catalog
  • Infrastructure abstractions with quota controls and multi-tenant isolation

Run & Scale

  • Istio service mesh — mTLS, traffic management, multi-cluster mesh
  • Managed databases: Redis, Kafka, MySQL, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, and more
  • Serverless with Knative — scale-to-zero compute and event-driven workloads
  • All running on the exact same underlying Kubernetes platform

Running on the exact same underlying Kubernetes platform — no separate infrastructure.
