Multi-Cluster Fleet Control Plane

One control plane for every cluster you run.

Astronomer brings governance, GitOps delivery, security, and observability together into a single console. Adopt your existing clusters, provision new ones, and manage all of them with one consistent workflow — without exposing a single API endpoint.

The Problem

Running many clusters is hard. Keeping them consistent is harder.

Most organizations hit the same wall as they scale. Individual clusters become snowflakes. Access sprawls. Security is bolted on late. Observability is fragmented. Toil multiplies with every new cluster.

Problem 01

Clusters drift

What was installed on one is missing or different on another, and nobody is certain which is correct.

Problem 02

Access is inconsistent

Kubeconfigs proliferate, permissions are granted ad hoc, and no one can answer who can do what, where.

Problem 03

Security is an afterthought

Scanning, policy, and segmentation get bolted on late — if at all — on a separate cadence from delivery.

Problem 04

Observability is fragmented

Metrics and logs live in different places per cluster. There is no single picture of fleet health.

Problem 05

Onboarding is slow

Bringing a new cluster, team, or engineer up to speed takes days of manual setup and tribal knowledge.

Problem 06

Toil compounds

The same change has to be made by hand in many places. That is where outages and incidents are born.

Secure Agent Architecture

Manages clusters without exposing them.

Astronomer connects to every cluster through a lightweight in-cluster agent that establishes an outbound tunnel to the control plane. The cluster never exposes its API server to the network. No inbound firewall holes. No VPNs. No bastion hosts.

  • Outbound-only connectivity — no inbound firewall exceptions required
  • No exposed cluster API server or public endpoint needed
  • Works across private subnets, NAT, and restricted networks
  • Selectable privilege profiles so agents run least-privilege
  • Agent health, version, and diagnostics surfaced in the console
  • Defined behavior when an agent goes offline — operations queue safely
Astronomer Agent Fleet dashboard
Agent Fleet — Live Dashboard
Capabilities

One console. Every concern.

Delivery, security, observability, identity, and governance share a single surface — so they reinforce each other instead of living in silos.

Fleet Management

Adopt existing clusters in minutes or provision new ones. Every cluster lands in a single inventory with live status, nodes, workloads, and posture.

  • Single fleet inventory with live health
  • Cluster groups by environment, team, or region
  • Per-cluster detail: nodes, workloads, resources, posture

GitOps Delivery

Declarative, auditable delivery with continuous reconciliation. Desired state lives in version control. Drift is detected and corrected automatically.

  • Applications and platform components via GitOps
  • Automatic drift detection and correction
  • Full change history with straightforward rollback

Security and Posture

Continuous posture checks, image scanning, network policy, and policy enforcement woven through the platform rather than bolted on.

  • Continuous posture checks across the fleet
  • Image scanning tied to workloads and clusters
  • Policy enforcement before workloads reach production

Observability

Fleet-wide metrics enabled by default on every adopted cluster. Consistent monitoring, centralized log access, and intelligent alerting with anomaly detection.

  • Fleet-wide metrics from day one
  • Threshold and anomaly-based alert rules
  • Centralized log access and forwarding

Multi-Tenancy

Projects carve clusters into governed tenants with their own quotas, network isolation, scoped credentials, and per-tenant access control.

  • Projects with resource quotas and limit ranges
  • Per-project network isolation and policy
  • Scoped cloud credentials and catalogs

Identity and Access

Role-based access with global, cluster, and project scopes. Enterprise SSO via OIDC and SAML with group mapping from your identity provider.

  • OIDC and SAML single sign-on
  • Group mappings to platform roles
  • Least-privilege enforced, not aspirational

Cluster Templates

Templates capture a known-good configuration so new and adopted clusters converge automatically to the same standard. Consistency is a property of the system, not a checklist.

  • Reusable templates for components and settings
  • Automatic convergence for new clusters
  • Evolve the standard and roll it fleet-wide

Backup and Recovery

Scheduled backups, on-demand backups, restores, and snapshots. Recovery drills so you can prove backups actually restore before an incident forces the question.

  • Scheduled and on-demand backups
  • Point-in-time snapshots
  • Recovery drills to validate restores
Astronomer Alerting dashboard
Alerting — Rules and Anomaly Baselines
Intelligent Alerting

Beyond static thresholds.

Astronomer supports both threshold-based rules and anomaly detection driven by rolling baselines. It flags behavior that is unusual for a given workload — not only when a fixed number is crossed.

  • Threshold rules for hard limits: disk, memory, CPU, restarts
  • Anomaly rules that learn a rolling baseline per workload
  • Configurable sensitivity, windows, direction, and cooldowns
  • Routing to multiple notification channels
  • Alert silences for planned maintenance
  • Less alert fatigue — the signal you act on is more often a real signal
Audit and Compliance

Who did what, and when — in seconds.

Astronomer keeps a complete, queryable record of activity across the fleet. When an auditor or an incident asks what happened, the answer takes seconds, not a week.

  • Full audit trail of every action across the fleet
  • Filter by actor, target, action, cluster, project, and time range
  • Optional read auditing for high-scrutiny environments
  • Compliance baselines applied fleet-wide
  • Export for integration with your SIEM or compliance tooling
  • 3,540+ rows of queryable, structured evidence — not a log file

Audit Log — Queryable Fleet Activity
Value by Role

Built for the whole team.

Platform and Infrastructure Teams

Operate many clusters with one workflow. Offer self-service to application teams without losing governance. Reduce toil so the platform does the repetitive work.

  • Templates and baselines that make consistency automatic
  • Self-service capacity with guardrails intact
  • Toil reduced as the fleet grows

Security Teams

Shrink the attack surface with an outbound-only agent. Enforce least privilege, segmentation, and policy across the whole fleet. Get continuous posture instead of point-in-time audits.

  • No exposed cluster APIs
  • Fleet-wide posture and supply chain visibility
  • Clear, defensible architecture to present to assessors

Application Teams

Ship through a reviewed, reconciled GitOps pipeline. Work inside a clear, bounded project. Get early feedback when something doesn’t meet policy, without becoming Kubernetes experts.

  • Governed self-service environment
  • Early policy feedback before production
  • Observability and alerting that already work

Compliance and Leadership

Continuous, queryable audit trail and compliance baselines applied fleet-wide. Evidence on demand. Grow the fleet without growing headcount linearly.

  • Audit-ready evidence in seconds, not days
  • Consistent security everywhere — not just where someone remembered
  • Better utilization of infrastructure already paid for

AI Capabilities

Private AI for mission-critical infrastructure

No cloud dependency. No data boundary crossing. Charlie delivers on-prem intelligence across the entire cloud-native stack: from cluster operations to container supply chain.

Meet Charlie Talk to an Engineer
01 / Sovereign

Private by Design

Charlie runs entirely within your boundary. Multi-model AI with zero external API calls. Operates in air-gapped, DDIL, and classified environments.

02 / Embedded

Platform-Native

Not a separate AI tool bolted on. Charlie is embedded inside Pioneer and Ghost: it understands your actual infrastructure, not generic patterns.

03 / Operational

Built for Ops Teams

Designed for engineers and operators. Natural language interface for cluster operations, security analysis, and compliance documentation.

The Problem

Cloud AI cannot operate in your environment.

Mission-critical infrastructure runs in environments where external API calls are impossible, prohibited, or a security risk.

Air-Gapped Networks

No internet access. No route to OpenAI or any cloud AI provider. Traditional AI tools simply do not work.

Classified Environments

IL5/IL6 networks prohibit external data transmission. Sending operational data to a cloud AI violates security policy.

Data Sovereignty

Cluster state, workload configs, audit logs: this data is sensitive. It should not leave the boundary to query an external model.

Latency and Reliability

Operators under pressure cannot wait for a cloud API call to return. Charlie responds in milliseconds, locally, always.

AlphaBravo's Approach

Charlie at the intersection of AI and cloud-native.

Charlie is where private AI meets Kubernetes operations, container security, and DevSecOps: creating intelligent infrastructure that manages itself.
