CAEPE FAQ

CAEPE is for platform and engineering teams managing multiple Kubernetes clusters and workloads. It is useful when visibility, Day 2 operations, deployments or resource decisions are becoming harder to manage consistently.

A free pilot uses the clusters and workloads you designate for 2 to 6 weeks. They can be non-production, staging or production environments, depending on what you want to assess. A production environment is not required. We agree the scope and success criteria upfront, and our engineers support the setup and evaluation.

We keep the pilot focused. Your team helps us agree the scope, provide the required access and review the results. Our engineers support the setup and guide the evaluation.

The pilot can cover a focused set of clusters that reflects what you want to evaluate. We will agree the scope with you before setup.

CAEPE is available as a SaaS deployment or as a self-hosted deployment, depending on your environment and requirements.

Both deployment options provide the core CAEPE capabilities. We can discuss the differences, requirements and operating model for each option during the pilot discussion.

Yes. CAEPE adds operational visibility and controls around your existing delivery and infrastructure tools. It does not require you to replace them.

CAEPE is designed for Kubernetes environments running across public cloud, private cloud, on-premises, edge and air-gapped environments. We can confirm the fit for your specific distribution and setup.

CAEPE can work with the registries and repositories used by your existing Kubernetes environments. We will confirm any environment-specific requirements during setup.

Yes. CAEPE helps teams compare environments, run pre-flight checks, validate changes and review workload and environment conditions as part of an upgrade or platform change.

We can provide information on deployment options, access controls, data handling and security practices as part of the evaluation process. The right details depend on whether you use SaaS or self-hosted CAEPE.

You pay only for clusters connected for 24 hours or more. Plans include full enterprise support, RBAC and SSO integration, unlimited applications, workloads and services, DORA metrics, unlimited nodes, and SaaS or self-hosted deployment options.

A cluster is charged once it has been connected for 24 hours or more. Short-lived connections under that period are not charged.

We review the results with you against the agreed success criteria. You can then decide whether CAEPE fits your operating model and discuss the next steps.
