description D2iQ Kubernetes Platform Overview
The D2iQ Kubernetes Platform is an enterprise container management solution from D2iQ, a company formerly known as Mesosphere. The platform provides tools for deploying, scaling, and securing containerized applications across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments. D2iQ rebranded from Mesosphere in 2019 as it shifted focus toward Kubernetes-based orchestration. The company was originally known for its work on Apache Mesos and the DC/OS data center operating system.
help D2iQ Kubernetes Platform FAQ
What are Konvoy, Kommander, and KIB in the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform?
They are the three main DKP components: Konvoy handles cluster lifecycle, Kommander handles fleet management and platform applications, and Konvoy Image Builder creates Cluster API-compliant machine images. Together they form the platform's installation and Day 2 operations stack. [D2iQ DKP documentation](https://docs.d2iq.com/dkp/2.8/dkp-concepts-and-terms)
Can D2iQ Kubernetes Platform run on-premises or in an air-gapped environment?
Yes. D2iQ documents support for cloud providers, vSphere, on-premises hardware, and connected or air-gapped environments. That makes DKP different from a cloud-only managed Kubernetes service.
How does DKP manage several Kubernetes clusters?
Kommander provides centralized observability, governance, policy, and cluster attachment. DKP Enterprise can also manage workload-cluster lifecycles with Cluster API and applications through FluxCD.
Why do older D2iQ documents mention Mesosphere?
D2iQ was formerly Mesosphere, so older products and APIs can retain names such as DC/OS and Mesosphere Kubernetes Engine. A 2019 D2iQ announcement explicitly described the company as formerly Mesosphere.
