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 was purpose-built to address this gap — delivering a unified Kubernetes management platform that provides a public cloud experience for distributed and edge environments, with centralised operations, full lifecycle automation, and enterprise-grade security across every cluster and site.


Platform Overview​

Cloud Orbiter is an enterprise multi-cluster Kubernetes orchestration platform designed to manage virtual machines, containers, and bare metal across any infrastructure from a single control plane. The platform is composed of three primary layers:

  • Access Layer — Portal UI, REST APIs, CLI
  • Control Plane — Cluster Orchestration Engine, IAM & RBAC, Application Lifecycle Manager, Observability Stack, Marketplace
  • Data Plane — Kubernetes Clusters, Virtual Machines, Bare Metal Nodes, Edge Sites, Public Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)

Cloud Orbiter efficiently manages infrastructure across public clouds, private datacenters, and edge locations, offering a unified experience for application and infrastructure lifecycle management. The platform caters to enterprises, service providers, government organisations, and telecom operators — assisting in Kubernetes cluster provisioning, workload orchestration, security, and multi-tenant governance.


Industry Use Cases​

Hybrid-Cloud Management​

Control cloud-native applications deployed across multiple public clouds (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud), private datacenters, and edge sites from a single integrated solution. Eliminate the need for separate management consoles per environment.

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​

Manage the full lifecycle of clusters deployed on public cloud, private infrastructure, and edge locations. Automate Kubernetes cluster upgrades, health monitoring, and day-2 operations from a single control plane with governance and audit trails.


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.
