Cloud Orbiter
Cloud Orbiter is Coredge's Universal Application Control Plane — a centralized, enterprise-grade platform for managing the complete lifecycle of CKP Kubernetes clusters, applications, and virtual machines from a single, unified dashboard.
Whether your infrastructure spans on-premise data centres or bare metal deployments, Cloud Orbiter gives IT teams complete control, visibility, and production-scale efficiency — without the complexity of managing each environment independently.
What It Does
- CKP Cluster Management — Deploy, manage, upgrade, and monitor CKP (Coredge Kubernetes Platform) clusters across on-premise and bare metal environments from one console
- Enterprise-Grade Kubernetes — Native CKP integration delivers CNCF-certified, enterprise-grade Kubernetes with automated lifecycle management
- Application Lifecycle Management — Deploy applications via Helm, GitOps, or container repositories with automated CI/CD
- Centralized IAM & RBAC — Zero-trust identity management with multi-tenant isolation, SSO integration (Okta, Google, Microsoft), and role-based access control
- Observability & Monitoring — Prometheus-based metrics, access logs, audit trails, and live log streaming
- Backup & Restore — Velero-based namespace and workload backup with S3-compatible storage endpoints
- GitOps Automation — Git-driven continuous delivery for infrastructure and applications
CKP — Coredge Kubernetes Platform
CKP is Coredge's enterprise-grade Kubernetes distribution, purpose-built for on-premise, bare metal, edge, and IoT deployments. The platform operates across two layers:
Distribution Layer — Delivers custom-built Kubernetes packages (kubeadm, kubelet, kubectl) and Coredge-hosted core component images, ensuring consistent and reliable Kubernetes deployments across all environments.
Management Layer — Handles cluster lifecycle management through CAPI (Cluster API), providing automated provisioning, scaling, and upgrades.

Who It's For
| Persona | How Cloud Orbiter Helps |
|---|---|
| Developers | Deploy applications on any cluster without managing infrastructure. Pull code from GitHub, patch, and upgrade quickly. |
| DevOps Teams | Automate workflows, manage multi-cluster deployments, run vulnerability scans, and monitor with centralized dashboards. |
| Infrastructure Admins | Manage VMs, clusters, storage, and networking from a single intuitive dashboard at production scale. |
| IT Operations & SREs | Centralized IAM and RBAC ensures only authorized users access infrastructure. Monitoring and alerting reduces incident response time. |
| Security Engineers | Vulnerability scanning, centralized IAM, RBAC controls, and audit logs ensure compliance and security. |
| Network Engineers | Manage cluster networking and deploy applications across multiple locations with centralized visibility. |
| IT Executives | Full visibility, enterprise-grade security, and automated operations improve productivity and reduce costs. |
Key Capabilities at a Glance
Cluster Management
Create and manage CKP Kubernetes clusters across on-premise and bare metal environments. Cloud Orbiter provides complete cluster provisioning and lifecycle management from a single control plane.
Application Lifecycle
Onboard applications from Helm repositories or Git. Deploy managed and unmanaged instances, track deployment state, and automate rollouts with GitOps-driven continuous delivery.
Zero-Trust Security
Every action is authenticated and authorized. Centralized RBAC with three pre-defined roles (Tenant Admin, Project Admin, Default User) ensures least-privilege access. SSO integration eliminates credential sprawl.
Observability Without Compromise
Prometheus-based monitoring tracks node health, CPU/RAM usage, pod capacity, and network I/O. Access logs capture every API call. Live logs stream real-time output from running containers.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Velero integration provides namespace-level backup and restore, persistent volume snapshots, and cluster migration capabilities — with configurable S3 storage endpoints.
