KestrelInfrastructure

Regional data centers and hosting

Your facility has the servers. Add Kubernetes.

For regional data centers, colocation, and hosting providers. Offer Kubernetes on the servers in your facility, with control planes run by us instead of a new team you have to hire.

The problem

  1. 1.

    Customers ask for Kubernetes

    Tenants want to deploy containers to a Kubernetes API, not file tickets for servers.

  2. 2.

    A platform team is expensive

    Running control planes well takes engineers who know etcd, certificates, and upgrades, on call around the clock.

  3. 3.

    The big clouds compete on it

    Managed Kubernetes is one of the reasons workloads leave for the hyperscalers.

What Kestrel runs for you

A dedicated, highly available Kubernetes control plane. Your workers stay on your nodes.

  • A control plane per tenant

    Each of your customers can get a dedicated API server, etcd cluster, and certificate authority.

  • Workloads stay in your facility

    Worker nodes run on your servers, in your racks. We run only the control plane.

  • Highly available

    Control planes run across failure zones, separate from your facility’s power and network.

  • Help when you want it

    Architecture reviews, upgrade planning, and security reviews from people who have run large clusters.

How a hosted control plane works

Questions

Things people ask us.

Do we need Kubernetes experience to offer this?

Some helps. We run the control planes and can advise on node setup, networking, and upgrades.

Do you host workloads in our facility?

No. Worker nodes and workloads are yours or your customers’. We run only the control planes.

How do we get started?

Join the waitlist or email partnerships@kestrelinfrastructure.com. We’re onboarding a few teams at a time.
