What is CONTROL PLANE?
Control Plane is an Internal Developer Platform (IDP), delivering instant cloud-native maturity without extensive time and financial investment.

FREEDOM to Run Compute Anywhere
Control Plane exposes a single pane of glass to streamline the developer experience, especially when managing multiple environments. All tasks achieved via the Control Plane UI can be interchangeably accomplished programmatically using the CLI, API, and Terraform, all while integrating seamlessly with any CI/CD provider. When using Control Plane, engineers can create an unlimited number of Global Virtual Clouds™ (GVC™). A GVC™ is simply a named collection of locations within one or multiple cloud regions, and even on-prem environments. Regions can span across clouds easily. These locations can encompass those from AWS, GCP, Azure, secondary cloud providers like Hetzner, Oracle, Linode, and more, as well as on-premises bare metal machines or virtual machines (VMs).

When backend code is deployed to a GVC™, the workload gets instantly served as TLS endpoints from the GVC™’s locations, featuring built-in geo-routing. If a location or region experiences an outage, end-users remain unaffected as they are instantly routed to the nearest healthy location within the GVC™ delivering the lowest latency. Engineers have the flexibility to select any combination of locations that the organization requires to attain 99.999% availability, ultra-low latency, and security and compliance requirements.

A GVC™ can consist of the following:

1. Locations provided by Control Plane: Workloads deployed to these locations run on Control Plane’s pre-existing clusters, eliminating the hassle of setting up your own clusters or creating your own cloud accounts. Control Plane offers all locations from AWS, GCP, and Azure.
2. Locations provided by you or your customers.
3. A hybrid combination of both 1 and 2.
