Vanilla Kubernetes

  • 100% kubernetes compliant
  • Kubernetes version compliance within 4-6 weeks
  • Support for Kubernetes 1.30, 1.31, and 1.32, enhancing security and stability.

Multi-tenant Architecture

  • Separate cloud providers and preset environments by organizational units
  • Datacenter separation – decide where the data is stored
  • Multi-cluster separation lowers effort for in-cluster policy enforcement
  • Support for Static Labels on Clusters that allows the tagging of immutable metadata to clusters, facilitating more consistent management across multi-cluster environments.

Identity and Access Management

  • Streamline authentication and access control, user and team management, enterprise security and operational observability
  • Deploy securely provisioned clusters with blueprints and presets to keep developers within company policies
  • Audit Logging Webhook Backend for improved security and compliance monitoring, which allows routing of audit logs to external systems.

Automated kubernetes lifecycle management

  • Provision, scale, update, and clean up of clusters with just an API call
  • Automatic roll out and roll back of upgrades
  • Templatized workflows for repetitive tasks
  • Migration from Machine-Controller Userdata to OSM, which improves the management of OS-level configurations, resulting in smoother operations.

Backup & Recovery

  • Centralized multi-cluster and multi-cloud backup handling- select from daily, weekly, monthly or customized as backup options
  • Customizable backup locations - Multiple backup destinations from the UI Admin Panel
  • Gzip Support for ETCD Snapshots, which optimizes backup storage by reducing the size of snapshots, speeding up the process.
  • Enhanced Cluster Backup: Restore to different KKP instances for flexible recovery and migration.

Artificial Intelligence and GenAI for Infrastructure Operation

  • Next Level Cluster Debugging with K8sGPT which has been integrated to KKP as a default application and also to the web terminal feature as a CLI tool.
  • Effortless Nodes Management with NVIDIA GPU's and other specialized devices through Kubernetes' device plugin framework.
  • Flexibility, Automation & Increased Efficiency: AI-Native Infrastructure Platform, specifically designed to utilize AIOps to ensure optimal operator and end-user experiences.
  • AI Kit in KKP: Effortlessly deploy AI, GenAI, and LLM workloads with optimized performance for both CPU and GPU workloads. AI Kit simplifies running inference and fine-tuning machine learning models, supports multi-modal models, and provides air-gapped environment compatibility.

Free choice of infrastructure stack

  • Native support of AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, Alibaba Cloud, OpenStack, VMware, Bare Metal Provider Support with Tinkerbell Integration, and more
  • Fast switching between clouds / on-prem by using one common default layer

Multi-cloud abstraction layer

  • Abstract cloud dependencies from the cluster consumer using preset environments
  • Centralized multi-cluster Logging, Monitoring, and Consumption Metering

Kubernetes Application Management

  • Deploy any third-party application on a user cluster, with a few clicks
  • After installation, applications can be reconciled to ensure reliability
  • Default Applications Management for automatically installing preconfigured applications on new clusters, ensuring consistency and reducing setup time.
  • Cluster Autoscaler as an Application for flexible scaling management.

Self-service portal

  • Deliver Kubernetes-as-a-Service to end users
  • Powerful & intuitive dashboard to visualize Kubernetes deployment

Open Policy Agent (OPA) with Gatekeeper

  • Kubermatic OPA implementation offers experienced users complete control over OPA customization
  • Constraint Templates are available for less experienced users to easily implement OPA

CNI: Choose or Bring your Own

  • Users can choose between the two most popular CNIs: Canal and Cilium
  • Additionally, users can simply add and manage a CNI of their choice
  • Allow eBPF Proxy Mode When CNI is None, which adds flexibility for handling network traffic when a CNI is not needed.

Single Platform to Manage Virtual Machines on Bare-Metal

  • Eliminate the need to run dedicated platforms to manage virtual machines on-premise
  • Provision multiple kubernetes clusters on VMs on-premise with KubeVirt Cloud provider
  • Single Namespace Mode for KubeVirt Provider, simplifying virtual machine (VM) management by reducing complexity in multi-namespace environments.

Complete Control Over Hybrid & Edge Deployments

  • Operating System Manager (OSM) is responsible for creating and managing the required configurations for worker nodes in a Kubernetes cluster.
  • Support for Enabling Cloud Drive on OpenStack VMs and Supporting VM Groups in vSphere for enhanced VM management in edge or hybrid environments.

Dual Stack Support

  • Kubernetes resources can have both an IPv4 and IPv6 address.

Kubernetes Monitoring Tools

  • Monitor health and resource consumption with built-in Prometheus and Grafana.

Full Lifecycle Management

  • Upgrade your control plane and nodes without disruption and roll back as you need.

Integrated AddOn Controller

  • Easily add any additional software, configuration, or policy into clusters.
  • Automate Addon Maintenance, which ensures regular updates to add-ons without manual intervention, enhancing security.

Whitelabel with KKP

  • Customize Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform to your brand and needs.
