An open source soul

Although we’re a commercial software company, we’re proud to be a part of the cloud-native and open source communities

We wear our badges with pride

We’re paid up members of the CNCF and Linux Foundation’s LF Edge, plus the Agentic AI Foundation and the OpenSSF for software security. We’re a CNCF-certified service provider, and certified AI platform, and our Palette Kubernetes distribution, PXK, is CNCF-conformant.

Many of our team have gained CKA, CKAD and CKS certifications — we even have some Kubestronauts on our team!

Badge - Certified Kubernetes Administrator

Badge - Kubernetes Certified Service Provider

We show up to share

Go to any cloud-native, AI or edge community event and there’s a good chance you’ll meet a Spectronaut there — delivering a talk, running a workshop, or manning a table.

We contribute to projects that matter

Our Palette platform has an open source soul, and we believe in contributing to the projects that make Kubernetes what it is today.
