Sidero Metal delivers Kubernetes on bare metal. Easily, securely, repeatably.
Walk in to a datacenter with just a laptop, and in minutes turn a rack of servers into secure, production ready, bare metal Kubernetes clusters.
Install a local Talos Linux Kubernetes cluster on your laptop in minutes. You can use this cluster to easily bootstrap Sidero Metal.
Server Classes can be based on attributes such as memory, hardware or CPU capacity, custom tags, or any combination.
Power on servers to register them with Sidero Metal and have them automatically allocated to Server Classes.
Define your cluster in terms of servers from each Server Class, and the number of worker/master nodes.
Apply the cluster manifest with kubectl. Sidero Metal will reboot the appropriate servers, install Talos Linux, install Kubernetes, and securely configure the new cluster.
Once you have your first bare metal Kubernetes cluster created, it’s simple to migrate the Sidero management plane to the production cluster. You can then spin up other clusters in moments, and manage them all easily and securely.
Easily add/remove nodes from clusters simply by changing the cluster manifest. Nodes can be added to the cluster, or wiped and returned to the unallocated pool, or de-allocated entirely.
Cleaning up a cluster is simple:
kubectl delete cluster my-cluster
Once deleted, Sidero handles everything to completely wipe the servers and return them to the unallocated pool.
If a node fails, a new one is automatically provisioned from the server pool. The old node is deleted, wiped, and if it can be recovered by a reboot/reinstall, it is returned to the pool for next use, otherwise it is flagged for attention.
Use your Sidero management plane to automate the upgrades and management of all your Kubernetes clusters and the underlying OS, ensuring stability and security.
