Thousands of edge
Kubernetes locations?
No problem!
With Palette Edge, you can easily scale and
manage the complete lifecycle of thousands of
edge K8s locations without the extra hassle.
The challenge
Edge computing is not just a buzzword. It’s real and it’s powering the
new smart way of working and living across multiple industries. From
telcos, oil and gas and manufacturing, to healthcare, retail and more.
But running Kubernetes at the edge can be challenging. With no
centralized IaaS-like management, no IT skills on-site, unreliable
connectivity and increased security risk, conventional bare metal
approaches won’t work and just won’t scale beyond a few
hundred clusters.
So how can you ensure consistency and availability... throughout
the lifecycle, across both K8s infrastructure and apps at scale, for
thousands of locations? With Palette Edge, it’s easy!

What is Palette?
Palette is a complete and integrated
platform that enables organizations to
easily manage the full lifecycle of any
combination of Kubernetes environments:
new or existing, simple or complex, small
or large, whether in a data center, cloud or
thousands of edge locations.
By extending CNCF’s Cluster API, Palette
manages both K8s infra and integrations
for all your clusters with Cluster Profiles: you
define what your clusters should look like
and Palette ensures they always stay that
way, consistent against the declarative
profile via continuous reconciliation and
self-healing. In addition, our unique
architecture provides a failsafe A/B OS
partition approach, enabling you to deploy
and manage clusters in just a few clicks,
without worrying whether upgrades
Centralized, full-stack edge management for true scale
Plug’n’play,
low-touch approach
Plug your pre-configured bare
metal server into power and
Internet and let us do the rest.
Tamperproof

Enjoy complete peace of mind

will cause downtime, even at single-server
locations with limited or no Internet
connectivity. Palette Edge’s industry-first
secure “immutable” stack means your
operations teams can now configure their
preferred K8s and OS that cannot be
tampered with once deployed. It also
supports both container and VM-based
applications. Finally, with its decentralized
policy enforcement, you can say goodbye
to maintaining management servers and
say hello to unlimited scale!
