Cloud Orchestrator was not built as a product and then tested on customers. It was built to power a real commercial public cloud — and that is how Stakater Cloud was born.
The origin
Stakater has been running managed Kubernetes for customers for over a decade. At some point, operating OpenShift for multiple customers manually — provisioning, isolation, policy enforcement, billing — hit a ceiling. We needed the commercial layer above OpenShift, and nothing on the market delivered it.
So we built Cloud Orchestrator and used it to launch Stakater Cloud — a commercial public cloud. On top of it we sell OSaaS (OpenShift as a Service) and Stakater KubeStack+, our managed services offering. Every paying customer on Stakater Cloud is consuming services delivered and managed by Cloud Orchestrator.
That is what drinking your own champagne means to us. We did not test this on a demo environment — we staked a commercial cloud business on it.

Customer
A commercial public cloud — OSaaS and Stakater KubeStack+ fully powered by Cloud Orchestrator
Stakater was managing OpenShift for multiple enterprise customers manually — provisioning, isolation, policy enforcement, billing. Every new customer added operational load. It did not scale.
Cloud Orchestrator was built as the commercial layer above OpenShift. It powers Stakater Cloud — a public cloud from which Stakater sells OSaaS (OpenShift as a Service) and Stakater KubeStack+, a fully managed Kubernetes service.
Stakater Cloud has been running in production for over two years. Customers self-serve. Policies are enforced automatically. Billing is data-driven. Launching new customers is a matter of minutes, not weeks.
Product 1

Dedicated managed OpenShift clusters for enterprise customers, self-served and billed through Cloud Orchestrator.
Product 2

Fully managed Kubernetes with Stakater's opinionated platform stack — delivered as a managed service on top of Stakater Cloud.
What Stakater Cloud runs on Cloud Orchestrator today
What this means for you
Every feature in Cloud Orchestrator has been running under real operational load in Stakater Cloud. Bugs surface in our environment before they reach yours.
When something breaks, it breaks for us first. That is a different kind of incentive than a vendor who only hears about problems from support tickets.
Features on the roadmap are things we need too. If we are building something, it is because Stakater Cloud needs it — not because it looks good on a slide.
What's next
We are in active discussions with CSPs, telcos, and regulated enterprises. If you are evaluating Cloud Orchestrator, you will be working directly with the team that built and operates it — not a sales layer.
We can show you Stakater Cloud — powered by Cloud Orchestrator — running live. Not a demo environment. The real thing.
