Why D2iQ Kommander?

Ensure Granular Cost Visibility Across Lines of Business

Integrated Real-Time Cost Management

Understanding the financial impact of cluster sprawl across an organization is exceptionally difficult, especially when reporting is inconsistent across different cloud provider tools. Going through multiple billing invoices to track spend and forecast overruns requires an enormous amount of time and effort, if it can even be done at all. D2iQ Kommander provides unified visibility and management across any Kubernetes clusters and infrastructure at scale, enabling you to drill down into costs as they are accrued and attribute them to the right departments, teams, groups, or projects. With a single dashboard view into your costs, you can deliver consistent and accurate reporting and identify opportunities for greater cost efficiency.

Deliver Centralized Multi-Cluster Governance

Enhance Multi-Cluster Visibility, Monitoring, and Logging

Organizations need consistent ways to monitor and obtain insights about their infrastructure. When there’s a lack of centralized governance and visibility into the cluster landscape, it can lead to inconsistent performance, reliability issues, and an increase in security risks. D2iQ Kommander provides centralized governance for any Kubernetes cluster—even those from the major cloud providers—with integrated, supported, federated Day 2 add-ons. With a single-view control plan for multi-cluster management, monitoring and logging dramatically reduce the time needed to troubleshoot issues and deliver better resource utilization.

Empower Divisions of Labor Across a Wide Variety of Roles

Provide Enterprise Access Controls for Multi-Tenancy

Operators need a consistent environment where they can create standardization across identities and access resources. A lack of consistency will lead to more operational overhead where teams won’t be able to identify users, govern the use of resources, or perform compliance checks.

D2iQ Kommander provides federated role-based policy and single sign-on across your organization’s clusters. With Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), admins can flexibly configure user roles, responsibilities, and account privileges. And with Active Directory integration and security based on Open Policy Access (OPA), users can leverage their existing authentication mechanism already in place and the health of the environment can be monitored.

Ensure Conformance and Compliance

Manage Risk and Security Vulnerabilities

In order to reduce the potential vulnerable surface area of software in use, operators need to maintain granular control over which versions of software can be used within project efforts. This level of control not only helps organizations simplify the provisioning of services, but ensure that risks and compliance requirements are met. With D2iQ Kommander, you can ensure conformance to the minimum version levels supported in the Kubernetes ecosystem and compliance with applicable regulations. Your organization will have peace of mind that their clusters won’t break due to version incompatibilities and can feel confident that they're using the correct Kubernetes and add-on versions at any given time.

Features and Benefits

Operational Dashboard

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

Centralized Observability

Enable cross-cluster monitoring and alerting of issues arising within operational and application infrastructure.

Granular Cost Control

Drill down into cluster costs in real-time with an accurate and consolidated cost management across your cluster landscape.

Lifecycle Automation

Enable service operations, such as upgrades and new service additions with zero downtime. Ensure consistent upgrade, deployment, and security policies.

Service Catalog

Quickly and easily deploy applications and complex data services from a centralized service catalog to specific or multiple clusters, with governance.

Service Mesh Integration

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

Integration with D2iQ KUDO

Run and manage complex and stateful applications for use with persistent storage on Kubernetes clusters.

Governance Policy Administration

Meet the requirements of security and audit teams with centralized cluster policy management.

Centralized Authorization and Authentication

Enable single sign-on across an organization’s cluster footprint (Active Directory, LDAP, Oauth integration) and govern authorization (RBAC and Open Policy Access) to enhance security and reduce risk.

D2iQ Resources for Enterprise Kubernetes Success

Everything is pure open-source. I’m able to do my own research, get stuff done, and have D2iQ there for back-up support if it’s needed.
