Cluster Management

Our platform offers end-to-end Kubernetes cluster lifecycle management with immutable OS principles, ensuring consistent and reproducible deployments across environments.

Cluster Creation

  • Immutable OS Support: Create clusters using immutable OS patterns for enhanced security and consistency
  • Automated Compute Provisioning: Automatic provisioning of compute instances with pre-configured specifications
  • Bootstrap Automation: Automated cluster bootstrapping with minimal manual intervention

Cluster Deletion

  • Complete Resource Cleanup: Comprehensive deletion process that removes all associated resources
  • Provider Resource Release: Proper deallocation of provider resources to prevent orphaned instances

Cluster Scaling

  • Horizontal Scaling: Add or remove worker nodes to meet workload demands
  • Automated Compute Management: Automatic creation and release of compute instances during scaling operations
  • Zero-Downtime Scaling: Scale operations without service interruption

Cluster Upgrades

  • Kubernetes Version Management: Seamless upgrades to newer Kubernetes versions

Supported Infrastructure Providers

Our platform follows a pluggable provider model aligned with Cluster API infrastructure providers. It is designed for multiple infrastructure platforms. Today, the DCS infrastructure provider is supported, with additional providers in progress.

  • Provider-Agnostic Design: Core workflows are consistent across providers
  • Current Support: DCS infrastructure provider
  • Roadmap: Additional providers are being added

Compute Resource Management

Advanced virtual machine lifecycle management with enterprise-grade features for optimal resource utilization and performance.

Compute Lifecycle Operations

  • Create Compute Instances: Provision instances with customizable specifications and configurations
  • Delete Compute Instances: Secure deletion with proper resource cleanup

Compute Configuration Options

  • Instance/Flavor Selection: Choose from predefined instance types or flavors optimized for different workloads
  • Size Customization: Flexible sizing options from small development instances to large production workloads
  • Resource Allocation: Precise control over CPU, memory, and storage allocation
  • Network Configuration: Advanced networking options including custom subnets and security groups
  • Storage Options: Multiple storage types and classes (for example: SSD, HDD, NVMe) for different performance requirements
