IronCore provides the new reference for compounded software layers for inventorying, managing, and maintaining Baremetal using Kubernetes’ cloud-native principles. Kubernetes, originally designed to manage and orchestrate containerized applications and microservices, has significantly expanded its reach through its inherent API extensibility, allowing it to be adapted to a wide range of use cases entirely outside the realm of containers. IronCore takes a modern spin with Kubernetes, offering a single interface for managing resources orchestrated across regions, data centers, and availability zones. All assembled with the identical blueprint, thereby offering unmatched flexibility, scalability, and ease of use. Unlike traditional infrastructure solutions, IronCore delivers a much sought, fresh, next generation approach. As a default, Ceph is modularly provided as a cloud-natively automated, vendor-neutral storage backend for block, shared, and object storage. Furthermore, a disruptive network fabric based on CLOS Topology is included. The software defined network data plane materializes through routed layer 3 only, using an IPv6 overlay, and is grounded on the robust, standard experience of the established internet architecture and technology.
IronCore can be used for cloud-native workloads via Gardener directly, where IronCore dynamically sources ephemeral virtual and physical machines for Kubernetes. IronCore can also be used as the robust foundation layer for other opinionated infrastructure management platforms, such as CobaltCore.
