Overview

DKP Enterprise is D2iQ’s flagship multi‑cluster Kubernetes solution. It provides a centralized management plane with a unified dashboard, enabling deployment, monitoring, governance, and lifecycle automation across hybrid, multi‑cloud, on‑premise, and air‑gapped environments. Built on pure upstream open‑source Kubernetes, it eliminates vendor lock‑in, reduces total cost of ownership, and accelerates time‑to‑value for enterprise operations.

Features and Capabilities

• **Multi‑Cluster Lifecycle Management: **Centralized control plane with unified dashboard to manage and deploy across clusters—even across non‑DKP Kubernetes distributions, on any infrastructure.
• **Declarative Automation & GitOps: **Declarative API-driven cluster provisioning with ClusterAPI and automated application delivery using FluxCD, simplifying upgrades, deployments, and configuration consistency.
• **Security & Air‑Gapped Support: **Meets military‑grade (NSA/CISA) Kubernetes hardening standards, supports FIPS 140‑2, centralized RBAC, SSO, and enables fully air‑gapped deployments with secure tunneling and local image bundles.
• **Centralized Observability & Cost Management: **Real‑time visibility and monitoring across fleet; integrated Kubecost analytics provide granular insight into infrastructure usage and cost control.
• **Service Catalog & Workload Automation: **Deploy platform-level services like Apache Spark, Kafka, Cassandra, logging, and monitoring via a centralized catalog with governance and consistency across clusters.
• **Platform Agility & Speed: **Enables deployment-ready Kubernetes environments in minutes vs. days/weeks. Reduces operational effort, accelerates release velocity, and eliminates cluster sprawl.
• **Open‑Source and Low‑Cost Ownership: **Built on pure upstream CNCF‑conformant Kubernetes—avoids lock‑in, leverages open‑source innovation, and lowers TCO.
