Product Information

A versatile and dynamic solution designed for modern application networking demands for cloud native environments.

Comprehensive solution for multi-cluster and multi-cloud deployments, offering GitOps or UI-based service connectivity, integrated DNS, ingress, egress, gateways, application-level control (security, policies, scaling), and observability.

CNI-based solution focusing on multi-cluster connectivity.

Provides only L7 connectivity for microservices using using a messaging platform AMQP. Skupper can run on KubeSlice which is a Layer 3 networking service.

Provides L3 connectivity across clusters as a whole.

Compatibility

Engineered for maximum compatibility, the product is designed to seamlessly integrate with any Container Network Interface (CNI), Cloud Platform, or Kubernetes Distribution.
