- Full support for physically and logically air-gapped clusters
- Tactical edge weapons system support (DDIL)
- IL 2-6+ (JWICS), FENCES, C2S, SC2S, C1D, SIPR/NIPR
- ATO on government platforms, cATO
- FIPS 140-2 certified
- Confirmed Stateside Support (24/7/365 support, ITAR and Data Integrity Compliant)
- Production-ready (Day 2) platform applications
- Enabling microservice architecture for hybrid environments at scale
- Supply-chain security
- DevSecOps simplification
- Unified Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform support
DKP Gov customers enjoy the benefits inherent in the DKP architecture, including pure upstream CNCF-conformant Kubernetes, real-time cost management, high availability, and military-grade security. DKP Gov is designed around Cluster API and includes integrated FluxCD, which enables simplified infrastructure management using GitOps. With top-to-bottom declarative workflow, DKP Gov provides centralized multi-cluster fleet management across any environment, including cloud, hybrid cloud, on-premise, air-gapped environments, and at the edge.
DKP Gov is available in single-cluster and multi-cluster versions named DKP Government Essential and DKP Government Advanced, respectively, and is generally available now.
