Overview

The D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) is an enterprise-grade solution built on pure upstream cloud‑native Kubernetes, providing a fully integrated, automated, and production‑ready stack. It enables rapid cluster deployment and management across hybrid, multi‑cloud, on‑premise, edge, and air‑gapped environments. DKP removes complexity through declarative APIs, GitOps workflows, built‑in security, fleet observability, and a centralized management plane. This orchestration layer empowers DevOps teams by simplifying Day‑2 operations, governance, cost control, and scaling across clusters and infrastructures.

Features and Capabilities

• Declarative APIs & GitOps: Enables standardised, repeatable infrastructure and application provisioning using Cluster API and FluxCD.
• Multi‑Cluster & Multi‑Cloud Fleet Management: Centralised control for Kubernetes clusters spanning AWS (EKS), Azure (AKS), GCP (GKE), on‑prem, edge, or air‑gapped environments.
• Production‑Ready Platform Applications: Built-in, CNCF‑certified services such as Apache Spark, Cassandra, Kafka, monitoring, governance, and backup tools. Supports rapid AI/ML and fast data pipeline deployments.
• Observability & Cost Management: Unified dashboard and insights for monitoring cluster health, usage, and infrastructure spend (integrates tools like Kubecost).
• Security & Compliance: Meets NSA/CISA Kubernetes hardening guidelines and FIPS 140‑2 standards. Supports fully air‑gapped deployments with pre‑scanned components and mission‑ready configurations for government use cases.
• Edge/IoT Optimization: DKP Edge/IoT variant supports centralized management of thousands of remote sites (e.g. retail endpoints, vehicles, kiosks) with lightweight monitoring and logging.
• Training & Platform Engineering: Includes expert services, training, and an internal development platform (IDP) “golden path” experience to close Kubernetes skills gaps. Simplifies DevOps and ongoing cluster operations for non-expert teams.
