Use Cases
Automate and monitor Kubernetes platform operations
Leveraging automations built into the platform, plus an easy-to-use UI, CLI, and declarative API, organizations can significantly reduce the complexity of operating a production-grade Kubernetes platform. Quickly troubleshoot and resolve issues based on full-stack observability with real-time, end-to-end correlation.
Enforce security, networking, and compliance requirements
Organizations can meet the strictest security and compliance requirements by imposing networking and security measures at multiple layers with consistent security and networking policies, centralized backup and recovery, mTLS encryption, API protection, and L4-L7 load balancing and ingress.
Enable self-service access to the right infrastructure abstractions and app building blocks
With identity federation and multi-team RBAC, the platform makes it easy for organizations to provide developers with self-service access to Kubernetes clusters and namespaces across multiple clusters and clouds.
Gain visibility and control over platform and application performance and resource consumption
With full visibility into both Kubernetes infrastructure and applications—including resources and capacity across your entire Kubernetes footprint—plus smart policies to set the right quota upon different teams, organizations can execute better governance over platform and application performance and optimize operating cost.
