    We have helped clients several industries and sectors where these words either mean different things, or people who use them are thinking of different things. An appliance has meant a physical thing before it has also meant a VM.

    The question you have asked includes a solution. Many client meetings start with that. This is what's called an XY problem[0], where the client says they want want Y, but that's their implementation of a solution to solve X. That may or may not be the only solution, but finding out the actual problem to be solved has never hurt me and saved a lot of time and money.

    This is why we spend time defining the problem and stripping away every ounce of jargon we can, because that jargon can create a bias towards a solution that may not be optimal. For example, site-to-site VPN. Why? Gateway ? Why ? These are solutions. What's the job to be done.

    Anyway... Have a look at https://www.replicated.com/ and https://kots.io/

    Not really. Actually the question was legit. Does your tool kuberlogic covers also air-gapped situations? How do you differentiate from other gitops solutions for kubernetes? https://github.com/gravitational/gravity for example this guys were doing also air gapped deployments.

    I am looking for solutions for on premise deployments with limited internet access. Our deployments pull Docker images off an Azure registry. Gravity by Teleport looks like a great solution, it bundles everything up and creates an installer. However, support is being dropped from Teleport.

What are some alternatives?
