Stakater Cloud Orchestrator

Build your own private, public, or sovereign hyperscaler. hyperscaler.

Stakater Cloud Orchestrator is the commercial layer above your Kubernetes infrastructure — self-service portal, service catalog, hard multi-tenancy, metering, and billing. It turns infrastructure you own into a cloud product you offer.

The commercial layer

Everything between your infrastructure and your customers

Kubernetes gives you compute. Stakater Cloud Orchestrator adds what a cloud business actually runs on: tenants, catalog, quotas, metering, and invoices — replacing nothing underneath.

White-Label Self-Service Portal

A branded portal where tenants provision resources instantly — your logo, your domain, your cloud. No tickets, no waiting.

Service Catalog

Define services, sizes, quotas, and pricing tiers. Tenants pick; the platform provisions — VMs, clusters, databases, GPU pools.

Hard Multi-Tenancy

Dedicated compute, isolated networks, and separate storage per tenant. Security policies applied automatically at provisioning time.

Metering & Billing

Per-tenant consumption across vCPU-hours, RAM, storage, and GPU-hours. Push to SAP, Oracle, or Zuora for chargeback or invoicing.

Governance & Audit

Immutable audit trails, SIEM and ServiceNow integration, and approval workflows that route changes through your existing processes.

API-First + XaaS SDK

Every portal action available via REST, Terraform, and GitOps. Wrap any Kubernetes workload as a managed service with the XaaS SDK.

Service catalog

A cloud catalog from day one

VMaaS and OSaaS are generally available today; more services are in preview and on the roadmap. The XaaS SDK wraps any Kubernetes workload as a metered, managed service in your catalog.

Take a guided walkthrough and see the portal, catalog, and provisioning flow tenants actually experience.

Who builds on it

One platform, many cloud businesses

Whether the driver is revenue, regulation, sovereignty, or GPU demand — the commercial layer is the same.

Cloud Service Providers

The vCloud Director replacement above OpenShift — portal, catalog, metering, and billing for providers leaving VMware.

Telcos

Turn existing infrastructure into a revenue-generating cloud product — self-service, billed, under your own brand.

Enterprises & Banks

Public-cloud speed on your own regulated infrastructure — self-service with governance, audit trails, and chargeback.

Government & Defence

Sovereign cloud where nothing leaves the perimeter — on-premise, air-gap capable, fully isolated tenants.

AI & GPU Cloud

Self-service GPU provisioning above OpenShift AI — metered per GPU-hour, from notebooks to inference endpoints.

Internal Developer Platform

Your developers shouldn’t raise tickets for clusters. Self-service that keeps platform control where it belongs.

Use case · VMware exit

Leave VMware in phases, not in one jump

For providers and enterprises coming off vCloud Director or vSphere: workloads move in controlled waves while the rest keeps running — and the commercial layer lands with them.

01 / Step

Assess

We map your current VMware footprint, workloads, and dependencies, then model the licensing you reclaim by moving to infrastructure you own.

02 / Step

Migrate in phases

Workloads move in controlled waves — VMs and Kubernetes side by side on the new control plane. No rip-and-replace, no downtime, no all-or-nothing cutover.

03 / Step

Operate — and monetise

Run everything through one API-driven platform: self-service for teams, metering and chargeback from day one, and a footprint you own outright.

The numbers

Same workloads. A fraction of the licence bill.

A VMware renewal is the baseline. Stakater Cloud Orchestrator runs the same VMs and Kubernetes on infrastructure you own — the reclaimed remainder is yours to keep.

Sovereignty

How sovereign is your cloud?

Score your estate against the European Commission's Cloud Sovereignty Framework — the eight objectives and official weights the EU now uses to award sovereign-cloud contracts. Four minutes, instant scorecard, no email required.

Runs on

Above your infrastructure, not instead of it

Built Kubernetes-native as operators and CRDs — it works with kubectl, GitOps, and Terraform rather than hiding them, and connects to the systems you already run.
