Overview

DKP Edge/IoT is an enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform from D2iQ optimized for deploying and managing any number of edge and IoT devices—such as remote vehicles, ships, medical or retail endpoints, manufacturing monitors, remote data centers, kiosks, and environmental sensors. It delivers centralized control, guaranteed availability, secure connectivity even in low-bandwidth or air‑gapped environments, and scalable automated lifecycle operations to accelerate time‑to‑value.

Features and Capabilities

• Self-healing infrastructure: CAPI automates cluster lifecycle: failed nodes are discarded and replaced automatically to ensure zero downtime.
• Secure connectivity: Unique network tunneling enables centralized multi-cluster management in environments with limited or unidirectional connectivity—no always‑on bidirectional links needed.
• Auto-scaling at the edge: CAPI-based autoscaling adjusts infrastructure capacity automatically based on workload demand, optimizing resource utilization and controlling costs.
• Centralized governance & visibility: Provides unified operational control and visibility across clusters, distributions and devices—ensuring consistent governance policies across teams and infrastructures.
• Operational Dashboard: Offers instant visibility into the entire Kubernetes landscape from a single control‑plane interface.
• Cluster Analytics: Collects, normalizes, and analyzes performance metrics, workload data, user and activity logs to improve operational efficiency.
• Centralized observability: Deep insights via open‑source tooling like Telegraf, Prometheus, and Grafana to monitor clusters and workloads.
• Service catalog: Fully automated provisioning of EKS and AKS clusters, including spin‑up and tear‑down of environments.
• Lifecycle automation: Ensures consistent upgrades, deployments, and security policies via Cluster API for infrastructure updates and FluxCD for application delivery.
• Networking & routing: Kubetunnel enables secure unidirectional connectivity between control planes and remote clusters.
• Policy & access management: Centralized policy administration (RBAC, SSO, Open Policy Agent) supports audit and security compliance.
• Service mesh integration: Adds advanced networking features across clusters, including multi-cluster discovery, load balancing and security across hybrid, multi‑cloud, and air‑gapped environments.
• Premium support & training: 24×7 global or stateside support options and certified Kubernetes training to help teams succeed from Day 0 to Day 2 operations.
