DKP Essential is an enterprise-grade Kubernetes distribution designed to help companies go into production quickly and easily. Built on pure open-source Kubernetes to avoid vendor lock-in, DKP Essential provides platform services for networking, storage, logging, monitoring and more, all of which have been carefully selected from the CNCF landscape and rigorously tested to work together. CAPI autoscaling automatically scales infrastructure capacity based on the resource needs of the running workloads to reduce operational costs. DKP Essential operates across the full range of cloud, on-premise, edge, vSphere, and air-gapped environments and has support for various OSs, including immutable OSs, and Nvidia GPUs.

DKP Essential comes with DKP Insights, which is in Tech Preview. DKP Insights detects various anomalies in the Kubernetes clusters and workloads and presents them as Insight Alerts in an Insights table.
