Low Risk
Kore Operate doesn't distribute Kubernetes, but layers on top of public clouds. We use our experience in complex, highly regulated environments to improve the security, manageability and ease of use of Kubernetes offerings like EKS, AKS and GKE without adding additional dependencies. Your applications retain their portability between Kubernetes environments and your teams need only be trained in standard Kubernetes operations. Kore operate is deployed on your own cloud accounts ensuring that you maintain ownership of the entire solution making Kore a safe, vendor lock-in free option.
Shadow IT
Kore Operate’s developer self-service model is designed to eliminate the need for Shadow IT. By allowing administrators and security professionals to set operational guidelines that are enforced through automation, developers are enabled to move at the speed your business demands. Cloud resources are delivered with all the necessary guardrails and functionality required to be production ready without introducing additional workload on administrators or additional delays from blocking governance activities.
Cloud Cost
Kore Operate provides granular, near real-time insights on actual spend, as well as projected cloud costs across all Kubernetes environments regardless of the cloud they run in. This bird's eye view can also be filtered to show cost attribution back to the team that requested the resources, ensuring that organisations can see where their cloud spend is today, where it will be tomorrow and how those costs align to their teams and products. This capability sets Kore Operate apart from its competitors and provides actionable insights that the cloud provider native tools simply don’t provide.
Operate at Scale
Kore Operate is designed to help organisations scale rapidly in the Cloud without sacrificing operations best practices.
Kore Operate’s developer self-service model allows administrators and security professionals to set operational guidelines that are enforced through automation, developers are enabled to move at the speed your business demands. Cloud resources are delivered with all the necessary guardrails and functionality required to be production ready.
Beyond self-service, Kore Operate provides centralised management of your Kuberentes resources no matter what cloud they run in. From a single pane of glass, administrators and security professionals can monitor and manage the configuration, performance and cost of their Kubernetes infrastructure.
Truly Multi-Cloud
Kore Operate unlocks the full potential of EKS, AKS and GKE, providing the flexibility to use the right cloud resources and services for the job.
The pursuit of new lines of business often requires the utilisation of services, new geographies and the ability to select the provider with the best combination of services and cost profile for the region reduces the barrier to entry into these markets.
Mergers and acquisitions fuel the growth of many organisations but can lead to technological sprawl across multiple cloud providers. The ability to quickly integrate and centrally manage these disparate environments accelerates the realisation of value from the M&A activity while keeping technical resources engaged in strategic, value-added work.
Quick Start & Deployment
Kore Operate is designed to reduce the complexity of Kubernetes cluster provisioning, hardening, self-service and cost management while simultaneously being easy to provision and use. Other proprietary platforms can take months or even years of highly specialised work to install and configure, while Kore Operate can be up and running within hours.
Kore Operate provides developers the resources they need to develop, test and promote their applications to production, when they need it. Based on years of experience in complex, security-critical environments, the platform not only delivers these resources quickly but ensures that environments are secure from day 1.
Security & Guardrails
Kore Operate was born in security-critical environments. These lessons informed the product’s security-first approach, ensuring that all platform operations are accomplished using ephemeral credentials and least-privilege access. In addition, we have taken the best-practice security hardening practices for EKS, AKS and GKE and based Kore Operates default policies around them.
This approach means that clusters provisioned through Kore Operate are security hardened from day one and least privilege operations are enforced from day two forward. This truly delivers on the promise of cloud: fast, reliable delivery of secure resources at a button press.
Getting started is fast and frictionless
Kore Operate does the heavy lifting to get you started quickly in a secure environment, with automated cloud best-practices and guardrails.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kore Operate a SaaS product?
No, Kore Operate is installed by Appvia's professional services team, our partners or, alternatively, by your team in your Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Storage or Microsoft Azure cloud account.
Does Kore Operate have its own Kubernetes distribution?
No, Kore Operate builds on top of public cloud Kubernetes, ensuring global availability and 'infinite' capacity. It then layers on additional secure PSPs and networking configuration, monitoring and alerting for security policies, RBAC and autoscaling to ensure the clusters are enterprise-ready.
Backing on to public cloud Kubernetes gives our customers global availability and ‘infinite’ scale, as well as minimising operational overhead.
How is Kore Operate different from other Kubernetes cloud platforms?
Kore is a lightweight platform that can be installed and onboarding developers in a day, and can be removed without affecting running applications or cloud accounts. Kore unlocks the full power of cloud by using cloud-managed Kubernetes and enabling access to cloud services. It enables full Developer self-service of infrastructure, Kubernetes clusters and cloud services. It automates the creation of cloud tenant accounts for teams, speeding up the developer journey.
A strong security posture is at the heart of the platform, with the least privilege access, policy, auditing and established best practices across the product and downstream services. It offers full cloud-cost management, including predictive costs and cloud cost comparison.
What is the pricing structure for Kore Operate?
Pricing is per developer seat so you can scale workloads without incurring extra costs. Please reach out to sales@appvia.io for comprehensive pricing information.
