- Kubernetes/OpenShift health prompts
- No console-hopping for first triage
PilotHosts gives infrastructure teams a unified operations layer for VMware vCenter environments and read-only visibility into Kubernetes, OpenShift and VMware Kubernetes clusters — without agents, plugins or vendor lock-in.
PilotHosts combines VMware day-2 operations with read-only container platform visibility, helping teams operate across vCenter, Kubernetes and OpenShift without replacing existing tools.
vCenter inventory, ESXi hosts, virtual machines, snapshots, capacity, compliance, cleanup and governed automation.
Read-only visibility into clusters, nodes, namespaces, pods, workloads, services, ingresses, PVCs and health signals.
Project, route and workload visibility for OpenShift environments with Kubernetes-compatible inventory and health analysis.
Runs as an on-prem appliance, connects through official APIs, stores data locally and does not require agents or changes to existing platforms.
Encrypted credentials, Microsoft Entra ID SSO, TOTP MFA, granular RBAC and local appliance administration.
Zombie/idle candidates, cleanup risk and waste signals before action is needed.
Policy-based snapshot aging, ownership visibility, alerts and audit-friendly reports.
Reusable job templates, scheduled runs and execution history for governed VMware operations.
Deploy the appliance, connect platforms through official APIs, and review local operational findings.
Import the PilotHosts appliance into your infrastructure. No agents, no plugins and no external SaaS dependency are required.
Activate online or offline. License data is cached locally and designed for restricted environments.
Add VMware vCenter environments, Kubernetes clusters or OpenShift clusters using official APIs and encrypted credentials.
PilotHosts collects VMware operational data and Kubernetes/OpenShift visibility signals on a schedule, storing inventory and findings locally.
Use dashboards, findings, reports and safe automation workflows to reduce manual investigation and operational risk.
PilotHosts supports Microsoft Entra ID SSO and granular RBAC so infrastructure teams can control exactly who can view, operate, automate or administer each part of the platform.
Use Microsoft identity for SSO while keeping explicit PilotHosts user linking under administrator control.
Create role templates and precise action permissions for VM, snapshot, backup, API token and Kubernetes visibility workflows.
Track user actions, automation changes and API token usage with local governance context.
Protect appliance configuration and operational data with encrypted backup and restore workflows for controlled recovery.
Use it for read-only summaries of VM health, capacity, snapshots, compliance and Kubernetes/OpenShift visibility signals.
PilotHosts keeps each platform in its own role and adds one operational layer for findings, reports and governed actions.
Day-2 visibility, cleanup, snapshot governance, reporting and safe automation for vCenter environments.
Kubernetes and OpenShift signals are collected for health, inventory and risk context only.
PilotHosts does not replace vCenter, VCF, Rancher, OpenShift Console, Aria Operations or Turbonomic.
Runs as an on-prem appliance, uses official APIs, stores data locally and requires no agents.
Keep the product surface focused: see the environment, reduce waste and run governed actions.
Inventory, health and risk context across vCenter, Kubernetes and OpenShift without switching consoles.
Find idle VMs, old snapshots and waste signals before taking controlled action.
Use policies and Ansible job templates for recurring VMware operations with audit history.
Turn findings, inventory and governance activity into clear reports for infrastructure teams.
