How Loft Works

Loft virtualizes Kubernetes to make it cost-efficient at scale. With virtual Kubernetes clusters, enterprises gain multi-tenancy, velocity and self-service for their engineers without sacrificing governance.

1

Deploy Loft In Seconds

Loft can be installed into any Kubernetes cluster within less than 5 minutes.

Key Features:

Self-hosted

to let you retain full control over everything

High Availability Mode

to prevent single point of failure

Air-Gapped & VPC Support

for enterprise grade deployments

2

Connect Cluster

While Loft itself runs in one of your clusters, you can also connect other clusters to Loft to support multiple business units or teams in different geographical locations.

Key Features:

Multi-Cluster & Multi-Cloud

to let you retain full control over everything

Multi-Region Mode

to prevent roundtrips and reduce latency

Cross-Cluster Sync

for security policies, users and more

3

Define Virtual Cluster Templates

To enable self-service for users, platform engineers can define virtual cluster and namespace templates in Loft and can make them available to users.

Key Features:

Reusable Templates

for virtual clusters and namespaces

High Availability Mode

to enable risk-free upgrades and easy rollbacks

Auto Upgrades

to keep virtual clusters and namespaces always up-to-date

4

Connect SSO + Set Limits

After connecting your single sign-on provider, you can define which groups from your SSO provider will have certain limits and permissions in Loft.

Key Features:

Built-in SSO Integrations

such as Active Directory, SAML2.0, OIDC, Okta, GitHub, GitLab, etc.

Group-Sync

to automatically create teams in Loft based on your SSO groups

Fine-granular Access Permissions and Limits

that tie back to regular Kubernetes RBAC

Enable Self-Service
For Any Use Case

Let your engineering teams provision Kubernetes clusters on-demand, whenever they need them. And rest assured that Loft will set up and enforce the security guardrails and user limits you defined.

Key Features:

Projects

to group permissions, clusters, and users

Group-Sync

to empower user self-service

Enterprise-Grade Audit Logging

to ensure compliance and security at scale
