How does Atmosly handle multi-cluster, multi-team estates?

Clusters, environments, and teams are first-class. Policy, RBAC, and guardrails are scoped per team, cluster, or environment, and the dashboard rolls posture, cost, and incidents up across the whole estate while keeping per-team boundaries intact.

For Enterprise

Standardize the platform. Free the teams.

Enterprises need control — SSO, scoped RBAC, audit, continuous compliance — across many teams and clusters, including private and air-gapped. Atmosly delivers governed self-service: every team ships fast inside guardrails, every action is logged, and posture stays current.

The enterprise bind

Control and velocity keep pulling apart

Tighten governance and teams slow to a crawl and route around you. Loosen it and audit, compliance, and cost spiral. Most platforms force the trade — the goal is to not have to.

Governance vs. velocity

Central control protects the org but becomes a ticket queue; full autonomy is fast but ungoverned. Neither extreme is acceptable at scale.

Audit & compliance, everywhere

Proving who did what, and that every cluster meets CIS, PCI, or SOC 2, across a sprawling estate is a perpetual, manual scramble.

Private & air-gapped clusters

The most sensitive clusters have no public endpoint — and most tooling can't reach them without bastions, VPNs, or exceptions.

How Atmosly helps

Governed self-service — fast teams, full control

Set the policy centrally; let teams operate freely inside it. Every action is scoped, logged, and reversible, and the hardest-to-reach clusters are in scope too.

Guardrails, not gates

Policy and scheduled automation scoped by team, cluster, or environment — teams move freely inside the lines, and nothing runs outside them.

Continuous compliance

CIS, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 posture scored continuously across every cluster, with drift caught as it happens — audit evidence that's always current.

Reach private & air-gapped

An outbound-only agent brings private and on-prem clusters under management with no inbound ports, bastion, or VPN — managed exactly like the rest.

Auditable AI remediation

Astra, our AI SRE agent, runs read-only by default; any fix it applies is scoped, attributed, and reversible — automation your auditors can live with.

Showback by cost center

Spend broken down by team and namespace, reconciled to the cloud bill — the chargeback and accountability finance has been asking for.

SSO, RBAC & audit trail

Single sign-on, role-based access scoped to the resources each team owns, and a complete trail of who did what — the controls security signs off on.

Inside the workflow

What governed self-service looks like in practice

Policy is encoded once and enforced everywhere. Teams self-serve on a paved road; the platform org keeps posture, evidence, and reach across every cluster — public, private, or air-gapped.

01 — Access & policy

One policy model, scoped to every team

SSO maps your identity provider's groups to Atmosly roles, and RBAC is scoped to the exact clusters, environments, and actions a team owns. Deploy, scale, and delete are permissioned separately — so you grant precisely what a role needs and nothing more.

02 — Continuous compliance

Audit evidence that's always current

CIS, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 posture is scored continuously across every connected cluster, and drift is caught the moment it appears — not in a quarterly scramble. When an auditor asks, the evidence is already gathered and exportable.

03 — Reach

Manage private & air-gapped clusters — no inbound ports

A lightweight in-cluster agent dials out over TLS on 443. Clusters with no public API endpoint come under management with no bastion, VPN, or firewall exception — and every remediation, deploy, and scaling action routes back over that same outbound connection.

Control without the bottleneck

The platform team sets the rails. Everyone else just ships.

Governance stops being a queue when it's encoded once and enforced automatically. Teams get a paved road; the org gets evidence, posture, and reach over every cluster — a governed internal developer platform, not a portal bolted on top.

The difference

Standardizing without Atmosly vs. with it

The same goal — control across many teams and clusters — reached two very different ways.

Without Atmosly

Governance lives in a wiki and a ticket queue — teams route around it to move fast.
Compliance is a quarterly fire drill of screenshots and spreadsheets.
Private clusters need bastions, VPNs, and one-off exceptions to reach.
"Who changed what" means grepping logs across a dozen disconnected tools.
The platform team is the bottleneck — every environment runs through them.

With Atmosly

Policy is encoded once and enforced automatically — teams self-serve on a paved road.
CIS, PCI & SOC 2 posture is scored continuously, with evidence always current.
Air-gapped clusters come under management over an outbound-only agent — nothing exposed.
A single audit trail captures every action, attributed and reversible.
The platform team sets the rails once; everyone else just ships inside them.

Questions

What governance teams ask

Does it support SSO and granular RBAC?

Yes. Sign-in goes through your identity provider, and access is role-based and scoped to the clusters, environments, and actions each team owns. Capabilities like deploy, update, and delete are permissioned separately, so you grant exactly what a role needs.

How does it handle private or air-gapped clusters?

A lightweight in-cluster agent dials out over TLS on 443, so clusters with no public API endpoint are managed without any inbound firewall rule, bastion, or VPN. Every operation — remediation, deploys, scaling — routes back over that outbound connection.

What does the audit trail actually capture?

Who requested or ran what, when, against which resource, and the result — for deploys, guardrail runs, remediations, and configuration changes alike. The same trail serves both incident review and compliance evidence, so audits stop being a fire drill.

Can central policy coexist with team autonomy?

That's the design. Platform owners set guardrails and blueprints centrally; teams self-serve within them. Anything inside policy just happens; anything outside it is blocked or escalated — so you get standardization without becoming the bottleneck.

Which compliance frameworks does Atmosly score against?

The CIS Kubernetes Benchmark, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and NSA/CISA hardening guidance are scored continuously across every connected cluster. Drift is flagged the moment it appears and the offending resource is named, so the evidence behind an audit is always current rather than gathered after the fact.

How does it handle multi-cluster, multi-team estates?

Clusters, environments, and teams are first-class. Policy, RBAC, and guardrails are scoped per team, cluster, or environment, while the dashboard rolls posture, cost, and incidents up across the whole estate — so leadership sees the fleet and each team stays inside its own boundary.

Can the control plane be self-hosted for data residency?

Yes. On the Platform tier the control plane can run self-hosted inside your own environment, so cluster data and audit logs stay within your boundary. Teams keep the same governed self-service experience, and security keeps the data-residency guarantee they need.
