Control Plane
Control Plane is the unbreakable platform for running production workloads. It runs serverless, standard, stateful, and cron workloads natively on AWS, GCP, and Azure, VM workloads on Managed Kubernetes locations, and workloads on your own infrastructure or on premises, active-active across regions and clouds. The 99.999% availability SLA applies to workloads running at least two replicas in at least two locations.
Control Plane handles Day 2 operations for you, including autoscaling, Capacity AI right-sizing, built-in observability, and security, with no Kubernetes cluster to operate. Universal Cloud Identity gives workloads access to 600+ services across AWS, GCP, and Azure with no long-lived cloud keys in your code.
Customers typically cut compute costs 30 to 50 percent compared with running directly on AWS, GCP, or Azure. Control Plane is PCI DSS Level 1, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant.

Telepresence
Telepresence streamlines your local development process, enabling immediate feedback. You can launch your local environment on your laptop, equipped with your preferred tools, while Telepresence seamlessly connects them to the microservices and test databases they rely on. It simplifies and expedites collaborative development, debugging, and testing within Kubernetes environments by establishing a seamless connection between your local machine and shared remote Kubernetes clusters.
Why Telepresence:
Faster feedback loops: Spend less time building, containerizing, and deploying code. Get immediate feedback on code changes by running your service in the cloud from your local machine.
Shift testing left: Create a remote-to-local debugging experience. Catch bugs pre-production without the configuration headache of remote debugging.
Deliver better, faster user experience: Get new features and applications into the hands of users faster and more frequently.

Fairwinds Insights
Protect and optimize your mission-critical Kubernetes applications. Fairwinds Insights is a Kubernetes configuration validation platform that proactively monitors your Kubernetes and container configurations and recommends improvements. The software combines trusted open source tools, toolchain integrations, and SRE expertise based on hundreds of successful Kubernetes deployments. Balancing the velocity of engineering with the reactionary pace of security can result in messy Kubernetes configurations and unnecessary risk. Trial-and-error efforts to adjust CPU and memory settings eats into engineering time and can result in over-provisioning data center capacity or cloud compute. Traditional monitoring tools are critical, but don’t provide everything needed to proactively identify changes to maintain reliable Kubernetes workloads.
