We remove the complexity from Kubernetes adoption
DKP Essential gives you a low-cost, easy-to-deploy, easy-to-manage entry-level cloud Kubernetes platform that can seamlessly expand as your needs grow.

Why Use DKP Essential?

Abstract Graphic

Enterprise-Grade Capabilities

DKP Essential provides platform services for networking, storage, logging, monitoring, and more, all of which have been carefully selected from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) landscape and rigorously tested to work together.

Real-Time Cost Management

There is cost 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. Detailed cost data, plus additional insights generated by D2iQ, ensure transparency of the cost and health of clusters.

Military-Grade Security

DKP is security hardened, following enterprise security best practices, including access control through single sign-on, encrypted data addresses, and a network policy quota. DKP meets NSA/CISA Kubernetes security guidelines and validates Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliance. The container images that are shipped as part of the platform, including Day 2 application, are scanned for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) before every major and minor release.

Cluster API (CAPI)

DKP is architected around CAPI, an innovative CNCF technology. CAPI simplifies declarative infrastructure management using GitOps, automating many of the formerly manual processes required to keep systems running and scaling. CAPI auto-scaling automatically scales infrastructure capacity based on the resource needs of the running workloads to reduce operational costs.
