Use Cases

Who Benefits from Cloud Orbiter?

Cloud Orbiter is designed for a wide range of users and organizations that need to manage Kubernetes infrastructure and applications at scale, across multiple environments.

By Persona

Developers

Cloud Orbiter lets developers focus on building applications rather than managing infrastructure. Developers can:

• Deploy applications on any cluster — cloud, on-premise, or edge — with a few clicks
• Integrate with popular code repositories like GitHub for automated pull, patch, and upgrade workflows
• Access managed and unmanaged application instances through a centralized dashboard
• Use Helm and GitOps repositories for repeatable, version-controlled deployments

DevOps Teams

DevOps teams leverage Cloud Orbiter's automation capabilities to:

• Manage multi-cluster deployments from a single control plane
• Run vulnerability scans on cluster workloads
• Monitor application health with Prometheus-based observability
• Automate delivery pipelines with GitOps-driven continuous deployment
• Set up alerting for cluster state changes, deployment failures, and scaling events

Infrastructure Administrators

Infrastructure admins use Cloud Orbiter to:

• Manage VMs, Kubernetes clusters, and storage from one intuitive dashboard
• Provision clusters automatically without SSH or manual configuration
• Scale clusters up or down on demand
• Perform Day 2 operations — upgrades, scaling, backup, monitoring — at production scale
• Manage edge clusters at remote sites through centralized, outbound-agent connectivity

IT Operations & SREs

IT Operations and Site Reliability Engineers benefit from:

• Centralized IAM and RBAC ensuring only authorized users access infrastructure
• Real-time monitoring with CPU, memory, node health, and pod capacity metrics
• Access logs capturing every API call for rapid incident investigation
• Backup and restore capabilities for disaster recovery and workload migration

Security Engineers

Security teams use Cloud Orbiter for:

• Centralized RBAC ensuring least-privilege access across all clusters
• Vulnerability scanning for cluster workloads
• Complete audit trails via access logs (user identity, IP, timestamp, API endpoint)
• SSO integration eliminating credential sprawl across multiple systems
• Session management with configurable concurrent session limits and forced logout

Network Engineers

Network engineers manage:

• Edge sites and devices with centralized dashboard visibility
• Multi-cloud cluster networking across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud
• Ingress and service discovery through Cloud Orbiter's centralized ingress capability
• Location tagging for geo-aware cluster placement

By Use Case

Multi-Cloud Kubernetes Management

Challenge: Managing Kubernetes clusters across AWS EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE from separate consoles leads to operational fragmentation, inconsistent RBAC, and blind spots in monitoring.

Solution: Cloud Orbiter provides a single dashboard for all public cloud clusters. Onboard your AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud accounts once, then create and manage all clusters — regardless of cloud provider — from one interface with unified RBAC and observability.

Edge Computing & Distributed Infrastructure

Challenge: Managing Kubernetes clusters at remote edge sites with limited connectivity and strict firewall rules is operationally complex.

Solution: Cloud Orbiter's outbound agent model enables full cluster lifecycle management without inbound firewall rules. Deploy workloads to edge nodes, upgrade clusters remotely, and monitor performance — all from the central console.

Brownfield Cluster Consolidation

Challenge: Organizations with existing Kubernetes clusters across VMware, OpenShift, EKS-Anywhere, and on-premise need a unified management plane without rebuilding their infrastructure.

Solution: Cloud Orbiter's import feature brings any existing Kubernetes cluster — regardless of provider or distribution — under centralized management. Apply Add-on profiles, run health checks, enable backup, and manage applications immediately after import.

Application Lifecycle Automation

Challenge: Deploying and updating applications across multiple clusters manually is error-prone and slow.

Solution: Cloud Orbiter's GitOps integration automates application deployment and updates. Define your desired application state in Git, and Cloud Orbiter continuously reconciles cluster state to match — enabling CD pipelines without custom tooling.

Enterprise Identity & Compliance

Challenge: Managing users across multiple Kubernetes clusters with separate credential stores creates security gaps and compliance risk.

Solution: Cloud Orbiter centralizes identity with multi-tenant RBAC, SSO federation (Okta, Google, Microsoft), and comprehensive audit logs. A single identity management plane governs access across all clusters, with per-API audit trails for compliance reporting.
