  • metalk8s

    An opinionated Kubernetes distribution with a focus on long-term on-prem deployments

  • I'm on my phone so this is going to be a brief reply, but it might be worth looking into metalk8s (https://github.com/scality/metalk8s). I've used it very successfully for an entirely offline k8s cluster. They've done a great job automating updates and management of a cluster.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
