Starlight

Self-driving infrastructure

Infrastructure that runs itself.
You stay in command.

Modern AI infrastructure for every workload you run, operated by your team or your agents.

The foundation for AI infrastructure you control

Run VMs, Kubernetes, containers, and private AI on one platform, operated by your team or your agents.

01Control

Your hardware, your models

Run on bare metal, at the edge, air-gapped, or in a cloud account you own. Data and models stay where you put them.

02Governance

One identity and policy for humans and agents

SCIM brings identities in from your provider, Cedar policies decide what each can do, and every request is recorded.

03Operations

Day 2 that runs itself

Atomic bootc updates with live migration, plus backups, scans, and patching that run inside the policy you set.

Moving to Starlight

Everything you run today.Safer and simpler on Starlight.

  1. 01

    Import

    A proven, enterprise-grade import converts your VMs and carries their settings across, so there is nothing to reconfigure.

  2. 02

    Validate

    Run them alongside what you have today, with your backup, monitoring, and automation tooling still in place.

  3. 03

    Cut over

    Move production on your schedule, host by host. Once you are on Starlight, live migration keeps workloads running through maintenance.

Workloads

Run what you have.Add what's next.

Windows and Linux VMs, Kubernetes on microVMs, containers, AI agents, and private inference share one console and one policy.

Everything you need to run it

The console, the agents, and the safeguards ship together. Here is the real product.

Workload type

Run existing VMs as they are, on the storage and networks your team already operates.

A Windows VM console inside Starlight

Windows and Linux guests

Bring existing guests across unchanged, with UEFI and Secure Boot for trusted initialization.

Starlight virtual machine list with five running VMs

VM operations

Snapshots, clones, resize, and live migration from one console.

Starlight host ready to drain for maintenance

Live migration

Drain a host for maintenance and move running VMs live to another host.

Starlight server summary showing CPU cores and memory

Server health

Status, uptime, cores, and memory for every host at a glance.

Starlight storage overview

Your storage

Connect the block and file storage you already run, with encryption and safe key rotation.

Starlight VM and container networks on a host

Your networks

Attach VMs directly to existing networks and VLANs, or build virtual networks with Starlight vNet switches.

GPU passthrough setting with three host GPUs detected

GPU passthrough

PCI passthrough, SR-IOV, and GPU passthrough for performance-sensitive workloads.

Atomic updates

One bootc image per host. Update, reboot, and roll back as a single unit.

Pricing

One per-node subscription.Batteries included.

Other platforms sell storage, operations tooling, Kubernetes, and security as separate licenses. Starlight includes them, with no core counting and no feature tiers.

Industries

Built for the missions that need it most

Production-grade infrastructure where security, control, and uptime are not negotiable.

Industries
  • Enterprise IT

    Move existing VMs across and add private AI on the same platform.

  • Critical infrastructure

    Run operational systems on infrastructure you control, isolated workload by workload.

  • Healthcare

    Keep patient data and the models that use it inside your own walls.

  • Manufacturing

    Run line systems and inference on the factory floor, next to the machines.

  • Mission operations

    Hardened, policy-governed infrastructure for teams that cannot compromise.

  • Edge and disconnected

    Keep running connected, intermittent, or fully disconnected, with the same console.
