Why Use DKP Edge IoT?

Ensure Zero Downtime

DKP leverages Cluster API (CAPI) to automate many of the formerly manual processes required to keep systems running as desired. If a node fails, CAPI automatically discards non-working nodes and provisions new ones. This self-healing capability significantly reduces the operational effort of cluster lifecycle management and gives you peace of mind that mission-critical IoT applications can run and be updated with zero downtime.

Securely Connect to Edge and IoT Devices

DKP’s network tunneling feature is uniquely designed to provide centralized multi-cluster management of edge environments with limited connectivity or with firewall boundaries. With this unique capability, communication can take place unidirectionally, as needed, to remove the need for always-on bidirectional connectivity between the control plane and clusters. This makes it possible to securely and reliably connect to a large number of disparate IoT devices, no matter where you are, what environment you use, or where that environment lives.

Deploy Kubernetes to the Edge at Scale

DKP’s CAPI-based auto-scaling feature automatically scales up and down infrastructure capacity based on the resource needs of the running workloads. This not only provides uninterrupted application availability, but dramatically reduces the time and cost of having to constantly monitor the system for resource constraints. The end result is better resource utilization.

Centralized Management and Governance

DKP provides centralized visibility and unified operational control for any edge infrastructure or Kubernetes distribution and provides standardized Kubernetes across devices, teams, and infrastructures. This capability ensures that an organization can deliver the management and governance needed to deploy and maintain edge and IoT applications repeatedly and reliably, accelerating time-to-value.

DKP Edge/IoT Features and Benefits

Operational Dashboard

Gives you instant visibility and operational efficiency into the Kubernetes landscape from a single-view control plane.

Cluster Analytics

Enables you to collect, normalize, and infer cluster performance, workload metrics, data services, user and cluster activities, and more, to deliver better resource utilization.

Centralized Observability

Enables you to gain deep insight into your Kubernetes clusters and applications with open-source metrics leveraging Telegraf, Prometheus, and Grafana.

Service Catalog

Provision, spin up, and deprovision EKS and AKS clusters in a fully automated way.

Cluster Auto-scaling

Enables you to save operational costs by scaling down capability when it’s not needed, and to add capacity when there is greater demand.

Lifecycle Automation

Ensures consistent upgrades, deployment, and security policies for infrastructure (through CAPI) and applications (through FluxCD).

Networking and Routing

Enables unidirectional connectivity between the control plane and clusters with Kubetunnel.

Governance Policy Administration

Enables you to meet the requirements of security and audit teams with centralized cluster policy management.

Service Mesh Integration

Provides advanced networking capabilities, such as multi-cluster and cross-cluster service discovery, load balancing, and security across a variety of hybrid, multi-cloud, and air-gapped environments.

Centralized Authorization and Authentication

Enables single sign-on (SSO) across an organization’s cluster footprint and govern authorization with RBAC and Open Policy Access to enhance security and reduce risk.

World-Class Service and Support

DKP Edge/IoT is available with Premium 24x7 support or Confirmed Stateside Support (CSS) 24x7 options. Your success is ensured by the dedicated service of an expert support team with years of experience developing and implementing Kubernetes technology.

Expert Training
