Nothing below your Kubernetes cluster changes. Cloud Orchestrator deploys on top — adding the commercial and operational layer your infrastructure is missing. We validate and certify each supported stack before shipping.
OpenShift Container Platform · OpenShift Virtualization · OpenShift AI
The primary validated stack. Cloud Orchestrator is tested and certified across the full Red Hat OpenShift portfolio — container workloads on OCP, virtual machines on OpenShift Virtualization, and AI/GPU workloads on OpenShift AI.
Stakater is a Red Hat Premier Partner and holds the Red Hat Certified Multi-Tenant Operator certification.
OpenShift — fully integrated, fully managed
IBM Fusion is OpenShift in a box — compute, storage, and networking delivered as an integrated appliance with OpenShift pre-installed. Because Cloud Orchestrator runs on OpenShift, it runs on IBM Fusion with no changes. Purpose-built for enterprise and regulated environments that need a complete, supported stack.
IBM Fusion bundles OpenShift with IBM Storage Fusion and IBM Power or x86 infrastructure — one supported, enterprise-grade stack.
Rancher Kubernetes Engine · Harvester HCI
Validation against the SUSE Rancher stack is in progress. Cloud Orchestrator's architecture is Kubernetes-native, so the core platform works — we are validating and certifying the full stack including Harvester for VM workloads.
VKS · upstream Kubernetes · others
Cloud Orchestrator is designed to run on any conformant Kubernetes cluster. VMware Kubernetes Service (VKS) and other distributions are on the roadmap. Speak to us if a specific distribution matters for your deployment.
The principle
Cloud Orchestrator deploys above your Kubernetes cluster. Your existing infrastructure, storage, networking, and cluster configuration stay exactly as they are. We do not replace what is working — we add what is missing above it.
If your preferred Kubernetes distribution is not on the validated list yet, talk to us. Validation is driven by customer demand.
