The Spectro Cloud Why Palette Letter outlines the unique capabilities of the Palette platform for managing Kubernetes at scale. It highlights ten key benefits that distinguish Palette from other Kubernetes management platforms. Among the most critical points is Palette’s use of declarative management across the full Kubernetes stack, ensuring continuous reconciliation and self-healing of clusters. Its decentralized architecture enables the management of thousands of clusters with flawless performance, even in disconnected or air-gapped environments, removing the need for costly management servers.Palette supports various environments, including bare metal, cloud-managed Kubernetes, and edge computing. This flexibility allows businesses to scale confidently without the risk of downtime. Palette’s full lifecycle control offers features like patching, backup, and security scans, and developers benefit from Palette Virtual Clusters and Dev Engine, which allow them to self-service and build applications faster.For edge deployments, Palette provides a low-touch, plug-and-play approach, with unique over-the-air, zero-downtime upgrades and a 2-node high availability (HA) architecture, allowing seamless scaling at edge locations. Additionally, the platform ensures end-to-end security with advanced features like zero-trust architecture, cluster encryption, and compliance scans, meeting high security standards like FIPS 140-2 and SOC 2 Type 2.Palette’s open-source choice allows users to select from over 50 supported components, offering validated packs for CI/CD tools, service meshes, and Kubernetes distributions. The platform also provides a unified solution for managing both virtual machines and containers, streamlining modernization efforts for VM-based apps. Palette integrates easily with tools like Terraform and Crossplane, offering flexibility in deployment and management options. Start your journey with Spectro Cloud
