Cloud Orbiter Data Sheet

Modern distributed cloud environments — spanning 5G networks, smart city deployments, autonomous vehicles, and IoT — are pushing application footprints to the edge at unprecedented scale. Managing Kubernetes clusters across public clouds, private datacenters, and edge sites from separate tools introduces operational fragility, inconsistent security posture, and slow time-to-market for distributed workloads.

Cloud Orbiter by Coredge

A unified Kubernetes management platform designed for distributed and edge clouds that provides an enterprise cloud experience for edge data centres, enabling centralized operations and automation for distributed Kubernetes clusters. The platform efficiently manages virtual machines, containers, and bare metal across any infrastructure, offering a unified cloud experience for application and infrastructure lifecycle management. Cloud Orbiter caters to diverse service providers, government organizations, and data centres, assisting in various aspects of cloud services, including engineering, delivery management, and maintenance.

Industry Use Cases

  1. Multi-Environment Management

Control cloud-native applications deployed across private datacenters, on-premise infrastructure, and edge sites from a single integrated solution.

Application Delivery at Scale

Deploy applications consistently across multiple Kubernetes clusters and regions, improving time to market. Centralised application lifecycle management enables teams to rollout, update, and rollback across clusters with a single workflow.

Multi-Cluster Management Service

Manages the lifecycle of applications deployed on CKP clusters, private clouds, and edge locations, allowing for automated Kubernetes cluster upgrades and centralized management.

Key Features

Centralised Infrastructure Management

An intuitive dashboard for managing the entire distributed infrastructure from a single point of control. Covers day-1 provisioning and full day-2 operations — scaling, upgrades, health checks, and configuration management — across all cluster types and locations.

Observability

Comprehensive observability across workloads and infrastructure: monitoring, alert notifications, KPI dashboards, event logging, and metering. Real-time visibility into cluster health, application performance, and resource utilisation across every site.

Application Orchestration

Deploy applications on any cluster, VM, or bare metal node — whether in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge. Streamlines deployment workflows, simplifies cluster lifecycle management, and enables GitOps-based continuous delivery across distributed environments.

Central IAM and RBAC Controls

Centralised Identity and Access Management with Role-Based Access Control enforced at every API boundary. Multi-tenant support with scoped permissions ensures that teams and organisations only access the resources they are authorised to manage.

Zero Trust Security

Adheres to the Zero Trust principle across all layers — no implicit trust between clusters, sites, or tenants. Enforces mTLS for service-to-service communication, RBAC/ABAC at every API, and network isolation between tenants and environments.

Marketplace and Tailored Kubernetes Stacks

Access a curated marketplace of applications and services to extend platform capabilities. Pre-validated, highly curated Kubernetes stacks and tooling cater to developers' specific needs — from AI/ML workloads to edge-native applications.


Key Benefits

Streamlined Operations Across Distributed Infrastructure

Eliminates the complexity of managing separate tools per cloud or site. A single control plane for all clusters, VMs, and bare metal nodes reduces operational overhead and accelerates incident response across distributed deployments.

Centralised IAM and RBAC

Efficient user access and permission management across the entire infrastructure from one place. Consistent RBAC policies ensure least-privilege access is enforced regardless of where workloads run — cloud, private datacenter, or edge.

Scalable Multi-Cluster Management

IT teams can efficiently manage multiple clusters at scale with governance and enterprise-grade security. Cloud Orbiter scales horizontally as new clusters, sites, or cloud regions are onboarded — without rearchitecting the control plane.

Automated Application Deployment

Reduces deployment complexity and streamlines workflows with automated application lifecycle management. Teams can deploy, update, and roll back applications across clusters and regions without manual intervention per site.

Comprehensive Observability

Full-stack monitoring and alerting across compute, network, and application layers enables proactive capacity management, rapid troubleshooting, and SLA compliance visibility across all distributed sites.

Zero Trust Security by Default

Defense-in-depth security model ensures a high level of security for managed infrastructure. Security is built into the platform — not bolted on — ensuring consistent policy enforcement from core to cloud to edge.
