Private cloud management

Private cloud management platform — your servers, VMs and deployments under one control plane.

NIP Platform is a Kubernetes-native private cloud management platform: register servers, run VMs on XCP-ng, ship deployments, monitor health and manage security posture — from one AI-assisted dashboard, self-hosted or managed.

What this means

Private cloud management — beyond a hypervisor UI.

A private cloud management platform is more than a XenServer/XCP-ng console: it bundles server inventory, VM lifecycle, container deployments, monitoring, backup and security posture under a single, role-aware control plane.

NIP Platform is built Kubernetes-native and AI-first. The platform itself runs on a small K8s cluster; your servers, VMs and apps are managed via SSH + APIs from one dashboard.

What you get

What a real private cloud management platform covers

01

Server + VM inventory

Bare-metal + XCP-ng VMs, registered, monitored, agent-aware. SSH operations from the dashboard.

02

Deployment + CI/CD

Zero-downtime deploys with rollback. GitHub / GitLab webhooks. Per-site lock + audit.

03

Security posture

Auto-provisioned protections, weighted score (NONE → MAXIMUM), 10 protection categories.

04

AI assistant

Natural-language ops: "show me the failing pods on prod" → audited tool call, role-checked.

Rollout

How private cloud rollout works

01
Cluster bring-up

A single K8s cluster runs NIP. Helm chart or NIP-managed.

02
Server registration

Bare-metal + XCP-ng hosts registered via SSH key. Agent-based heartbeat.

03
Site onboarding

Apps + sites onboarded to deploy pipelines. Per-tenant isolation.

04
Security posture

Auto-provisioned protections (firewall, backup, TLS, monitoring, IAM).

Frequently asked questions

Private cloud management — questions

How is this different from a hypervisor console?

A hypervisor console manages one cluster of VMs. NIP Platform manages the entire stack: bare-metal hosts, VMs, K8s pods, CI/CD, monitoring, backups and security posture — across multiple sites, tenants and clouds.

Can we self-host NIP Platform?

Yes. NIP is shipped as a Helm chart that runs on any Kubernetes cluster (k3s, RKE2, EKS, AKS, on-prem). Air-gapped deployments supported.

Does it manage XCP-ng?

Yes — first-class XCP-ng support: VM lifecycle, snapshot, clone, live migration, template management. See the XCP-ng landing page.

What about CI/CD?

Built-in zero-downtime deploys with rollback. GitHub Actions / GitLab CI webhooks land here; the platform locks per-site, runs healthchecks and rolls forward or back.
