Palette

Palette is a comprehensive platform designed to manage the lifecycle of Kubernetes environments across various infrastructures, including public clouds, data centers, bare metal, and edge environments. It provides IT teams with complete control, visibility, and production-scale efficiencies, enabling them to offer developers curated Kubernetes stacks tailored to specific needs. This includes granular governance and enterprise-grade security.

Key features of Palette include the use of cluster profiles, which are declarative models for provisioning, scaling, and maintaining clusters. These profiles can be customized with layers using packs, Helm charts, Zarf packages, or cluster manifests to meet specific workload requirements. Users can create multiple profiles for different workloads, ensuring a repeatable deployment process across development and production environments. Additionally, Palette supports a wide range of environments, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, VMware, Nutanix, OpenStack, and Canonical MAAS.

By leveraging Palette, organizations can enhance cluster functionality by adding layers for system apps, authentication, monitoring, ingress, load balancers, and more. This flexibility allows for easy updates and maintenance of deployed workloads by modifying cluster profiles. Overall, Palette offers a robust solution for managing complex Kubernetes environments efficiently and securely.
