STAKATERSTAKATERCloud Orchestrator
The commercial layer above Kubernetes — from self-service portal to billing API.
Feature 01
Customers provision, manage, and monitor — without contacting operations.
Browse and order VMs, clusters, databases, custom services
Start, stop, scale, and monitor — full lifecycle control
Usage breakdown, estimated spend, and historical records
Organization roles, activity log, compliance trail
Feature 02
New services published same day — no engineering sprint required.
Compute
Self-service VM provisioning. Tenant picks size, OS, storage. Ready in minutes.
Platform
On-demand isolated cluster environments. Single-click provisioning for dev teams.
Data
Managed database services, S3-compatible object storage, persistent volumes.
Backed by CRDs — any capability available in Kubernetes can become a catalog item. No bespoke UI work per service.
Feature 03
Virtual control plane per tenant — not namespace separation.
Standard Kubernetes
Shared control plane — one misconfiguration exposes all tenants
Policy-based separation — can be bypassed
Fails regulated enterprise security review
Cloud Orchestrator (KCP)
Dedicated control plane per tenant — hard walls by architecture
Same model hyperscalers use internally
Passes enterprise security review without exception
KCP — Kubernetes Control Plane — is the open-source project powering this architecture. Each tenant workspace is a full virtual API server.
Feature 04
From signed agreement to live tenant workspace — in minutes.
Step 1
Tenant record created. Workspace provisioned. Identity configured.
Step 2
SSO credentials issued. Portal access activated. Service catalog visible.
Step 3
Tenant orders from catalog. Metering active. Billing starts.
Ops tickets needed
Not days or weeks
Triggered by contract system
Feature 05
Per-tenant, per-resource tracking — in real time.
Each tenant's usage tracked in isolation. No cross-tenant data leakage in metering.
Scrape interval and retention period configurable per deployment. Sub-minute granularity available.
Metering data exported to billing API, ERP, or SIEM. Standards-based format.
Feature 06
Usage data flows to your invoicing system automatically.
Source
Per-tenant, per-resource consumption data collected in real time
Billing API

Fixed, tiered, or consumption-based pricing — your choice.
Feature 07
Your brand. Your domain. No Stakater visible to your customers.
Portal served on your domain — cloud.yourcompany.com. SSL included.
Upload your logo, set your primary and accent colors. All portal surfaces reflect your brand.
Onboarding emails, usage alerts, and invoices sent from your domain.
Call it whatever you want. "ACME Cloud", "Sovereign Cloud Portal" — fully configurable.

Feature 08
Every action logged. Every policy enforced. Zero exceptions.
Role-based access control per tenant organization. Admins, developers, viewers — all scoped to their workspace.
Immutable log of every provisioning event, access grant, and configuration change. Exportable to SIEM.
Quota limits, resource caps, network policies, and compliance guardrails enforced at the control plane level.
Feature 09
Every capability is an API. Every resource is a CRD. GitOps-native.
Tenant provisioning
kubectl apply -f tenant.yaml
Service catalog item
kubectl apply -f vm-service.yaml
Quota policy
kubectl apply -f quota.yaml
Manage tenants, catalog, and policies through Git. Argo CD / Flux compatible.
Trigger tenant provisioning from CRM, ticketing system, or contract platform via REST API.
All operations available via API and CRD — the portal is a consumer of the same APIs you use.
Feature 10
FinOps built in — not bolted on.
Cost data exported per cost center. SAP, ServiceNow, and custom ERP supported.
Per-tenant budget thresholds. Alert on 80% and 100% — before the bill arrives.
