k0rdent’s Primary Use Cases

Modern Workloads

Like MLOps - made simple and repeatable with composability

Composable Templates

To support complex deployments (e.g., GPU) on any cloud or infrastructure

Large Scale Platforms

Hundreds or thousands of clusters managed from a single point of control

Why k0rdent?

Platform engineering teams face the challenge of delivering Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) that:

  • Enable developers to self-serve within clear guardrails.
  • Enforce compliance and security across environments.
  • Meet business needs for availability, performance, and cost-efficiency.

At the same time, they must:

  • Simplify operations across multi-cloud, hybrid-cloud, and edge environments.
  • Support modern workloads like AI, ML, and complex distributed applications.
We created k0rdent to solve these challenges.

What is k0rdent?

k0rdent extends Kubernetes to help you design, deploy, and manage Kubernetes-based IDPs with ease at any scale, on any cloud or infrastructure.

Kubernetes-Native Platform Management:

IDPs/platforms are managed as Kubernetes-native abstractions, with self-healing, automated upgrades, and continuous reconciliation.

Declarative and Composable:

Define IDPs/platforms using modular templates for clusters, services, and infrastructure. Fully GitOps-compatible and CI/CD-ready.

Multi-Cloud, Hybrid, and Edge Ready:

Seamlessly manage clusters and IDPs/platforms across public clouds, private data centers, bare metal, and edge devices.

Golden Paths for Security and Scale:

Configure workflows and guardrails to enforce standards, ensure compliance, and empower self-service at scale..

Optimized for Modern Workloads:

Design IDPs/platforms to support any use case, from traditional applications to AI/ML, serverless, and beyond.

Open Source and Extensible:

Built on open standards and compatible with the tools you already use.

NEW FRONTIERS:

MLOps and AIOps with k0rdent

MLOps (Machine Learning Operations):

Simplify the creation of platforms for machine learning and AI development with Infrastructure-as-Code principles. Use k0rdent to:

  • Automate the setup of tools and workflows for training models, from classifiers to large language models (LLMs).
  • Host and manage ML/AI pipelines alongside applications like vector databases, Jupyter Notebooks, and TensorFlow.
  • Streamline dev, test, and production workflows with secure, scalable infrastructure.

AIOps (AI Operations):

Harness AI to solve IT challenges. With k0rdent, platform teams can:

  • Build AI-driven monitoring and incident response systems.
  • Automate root cause analysis and predictive maintenance.
  • Enhance compliance and performance optimization across environments.
