With Palette Bare Metal you can increase performance, reduce cost and stop worrying about who’s managing your operating system. Directly deploying and running Kubernetes on top of bare metal servers brings increased performance and can significantly reduce costs with one technology layer less to manage: the hypervisor. But it can be hard with “bring your own OS” solutions, as you now have to manage the operating system separately to the Kubernetes stack and applications, which can expose you to configuration drift that can impact performance and availability, besides increasing the operational hassle. With Palette’s Real Metal architecture, your bare metal servers’ OS becomes just another layer being managed by Palette, with all the comprehensive day 0-2 features that come with it. 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 edge environment. By extending CNCF’s Cluster API, Palette manages both K8s infra and apps 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.
