D2iQ Kubernetes Platform
Built to Solve the Toughest Enterprise Kubernetes Challenges
Simplification Through Automation:
The Key to Kubernetes Success
The D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) is unique in its ability to simplify
Kubernetes and advanced cloud-native deployments.
By simplifying Kubernetes deployment and management, DKP enables organizations to easily overcome Day-2 operational barriers (security, observability, stability, upgradeability, resilience, governance, etc.) and get up and running in minutes and hours rather than weeks and months.
How DKP Simplifies Kubernetes Management Through Automation
GitOps Workflow
DKP is architected around the new Cluster API (CAPI) technology that simplifies declarative infrastructure management using GitOps, automating many of the formerly manual processes required to keep systems running and scaling. Built around CAPI, DKP becomes the single, centralized point of control for your application infrastructure, empowering you to more easily deploy, manage, and scale Kubernetes workloads.
Observability
A centralized management plane enables you to visualize, monitor, and manage clusters across distributed multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments from a single point of command. Observability also includes user visualizations within the three tenancy views for business units and developers.
Military-Grade Security
DKP meets NSA Kubernetes security hardening guidelines and follows enterprise security best practices, including zero trust and access control through single sign-on, encrypted data addresses, and a network policy quota. The container images that are shipped as part of the platform are Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) scanned before every major and minor release. DKP is secure out of the box, FIPS compliant, and designed for full air-gapped deployments.
Application Catalog
A curated library of applications enables you to easily access and add certified and tested CNCF applications to DKP. Customer and third-party applications are available for easy access and deployment.
Real-time Cost Management
There is visibility up to the level of individual applications, but at the same time you can zoom out and have cost visibility for your entire infrastructure. You can also zoom in and calculate the cost of each application, each team, and each namespace.
Simplified AI/ML
By simplifying the deployment and full lifecycle management of AI and ML workloads at scale, Kaptain AI/ML enables you to accelerate the creation and deployment of smart cloud-native applications. An add-on to DKP, Kaptain AI/ML enables data scientists to more effectively manage the lifecycle of AI/ ML models without the need for Kubernetes infrastructure management skills.
DKP Insights
DKP Insights analyzes the alerts, metrics, logs, and events from Kubernetes clusters managed by DKP and generates heuristic analytics for potential issues and operational challenges. This enables infrastructure teams to quickly identify and proactively resolve issues on their own, enabling greater support productivity, speed, and reduced costs, while preventing downtime and loss of revenue.
Pure Upstream Kubernetes
Unlike other vendor distributions, DKP is built on pure upstream open-source Kubernetes, enabling you to migrate easily to any environment and harness the innovation of the open-source community without fear of lock-in. DKP is uniquely designed to provide a fully interoperable and Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)-conformant Kubernetes experience, enabling you to leverage the best innovation the industry has to offer while ensuring the security, resilience, and lowest cost of ownership.
Enable Day 2 Readiness Out-of-the-Box Without Lock-In
DKP takes care of the heavy lifting by providing a comprehensive, enterprise-grade Kubernetes distribution and a full stack of CNCF-certified Day 2 platform applications that are integrated, automated, and tested at scale for an out-of-the-box, production-ready experience. DKP is a complete solution built on pure upstream open-source Kubernetes, providing you the freedom to leverage ongoing open-source innovation, immune to the lock-in of proprietary solutions.
Ensure Consistency, Security, and Performance
DKP provides centralized governance, control, and declarative provisioning of any Kubernetes cluster or CNCF-conformant Kubernetes distribution, as well as end-to-end declarative lifecycle management for both infrastructure and applications from a single central point of control. Both allow for greater standardization, security, and performance across disparate clusters with zero downtime.
Ensure Quick, Simple Deployment of AI/ML and Fast Data Pipelines
DKP builds on its legacy of delivering enterprise-grade stateful applications by enabling advanced application use cases for Kubernetes, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and fast data pipelines. With DKP, you can automatically provision Apache Spark, Cassandra, and Kafka from the management plane’s catalog of platform applications and obtain a robust Kubernetes platform, powerful AI/ML platform, and NVIDIA DGX AI-development solution, all certified and tested.
Harness the Power of Experience
DKP provides expert consulting services, training, and support for both Kubernetes and the entire cloud- native stack of platform applications in your deployment. By leveraging our knowledge, expertise, and operational guidance, you can avoid common pitfalls and ensure faster time to market.
