PRODUCT EXPERIENCE
A cloud experience your teams can actually use.
Administrators govern the underlying platform while tenants consume approved services through clear, repeatable workflows.

WORKLOAD CHOICE
Modernize infrastructure without forcing every workload into the same runtime.
ONE PLATFORM
Choose the right runtime. Keep one operating model.
Virtual machines and Kubernetes remain distinct workload choices while sharing Layer Sentry storage, networking, tenancy, operations and API foundations.

TENANCY & GOVERNANCE
Give every team a cloud boundary of its own.
Organize business units, environments or customers in a hierarchical tenant model with delegated administration, modules and resource quotas.
CONTROL WITHOUT BOTTLENECKS
Delegate safely. See everything.
- Hierarchical tenants and sub-tenants
- Per-tenant modules and readiness
- Resource quota visibility
- Administrative actions in context
OPERATIONS01 02 03
See the state of your cloud at a glance.
Understand cluster capacity, allocation and infrastructure health without moving between disconnected management tools.
Capacity intelligence
CPU, memory, storage, pods and virtualization resources.
Tenant accountability
Allocation and quota context across isolated environments.
Operational protection
Backup classes, jobs, artifacts and restore workflows.
Private Cloud
Turn owned infrastructure into governed, self-service cloud capacity.

Answers to the questions infrastructure and platform teams ask first.
Talk to an architect →What is Layer Sentry?+
Layer Sentry is a Kubernetes-native private-cloud platform for virtual machines, tenant Kubernetes, managed applications, storage, networking and automation.
How does virtualization work?+
KVM-based virtual machines run on the platform’s Kubernetes-native infrastructure foundation and use managed disks, images, networking and lifecycle workflows.
Are tenant clusters just Kubernetes namespaces?+
No. Tenant Kubernetes environments have their own control planes and VM worker nodes, with independent lifecycle, persistent volumes and load-balancing services.
How are teams and customers isolated?+
Hierarchical tenants provide separate resource and network scopes, RBAC, quotas and delegated administration.
Which services can teams deploy?+
The catalog includes VMs, tenant Kubernetes, databases, caches, messaging, registry, object storage, load balancing, HTTP delivery and VPN services.
Can the platform be automated?+
Yes. Resources can be managed through the dashboard, kubectl, Terraform or programmatic clients using the Kubernetes API model.

Select your starting priorities to create a focused evaluation brief for your infrastructure and platform teams.
YOUR EVALUATION BRIEF
Build a governed private-cloud foundation.
Turn infrastructure you control into shared cloud capacity with self-service delivery and one operational context.
- Use distinct VM and Kubernetes runtimes on shared storage, networking, tenancy, operations and API foundations.
- Model business units and environments with hierarchical tenants, quotas, RBAC and network boundaries.
- Design around servers, physical storage and network fabric in your primary or secondary data-center environment.
Final topology, sizing, integrations and lifecycle design are confirmed during architecture qualification.
