Where traditional cloud approaches reach their limits
Common Challenges
Operating confidential and network-isolated infrastructures is complex. Typical problems teams face daily include:
Lack of internet connectivity
Makes standard deployments impossible – container images, updates, and dependencies must be fully available locally.
Complex dependency management
In air-gapped environments requires local registries and manual processes, which are error-prone and time-consuming.
Compliance requirements
Such as BSI baseline protection, GDPR, or industry-specific regulations demand complete traceability and data isolation.
Kubernetes expertise as a bottleneck
Operating Kubernetes clusters combined with confidential computing requires deep expertise – which most teams simply do not have.
Update and Patch Cycles
Must be manually coordinated in isolated environments, increasing the attack surface and security risks.
Monitoring and observability
Cannot simply be derived from the public cloud – local solutions must be built from scratch.
Deployment excellence beyond the air gap
Codesphere’s solution
Codesphere was designed from the ground up to run on any infrastructure – including fully isolated air-gapped environments. The platform consolidates all tools for development, deployment, and operations into a unified interface that works without permanent internet connectivity.
Codesphere can be installed on-premise in air-gapped instances and is already successfully used by banks, public authorities, and other highly regulated organizations. Thanks to its patented deployment technology, Codesphere abstracts the entire Kubernetes complexity – teams deploy securely and reproducibly without needing Kubernetes experts.
The platform supports various deployment scenarios
Confidential Kubernetes
Secure cluster operation with full control over images, configurations, and network access.
Confidential VMs
Isolated virtual machines for highly sensitive workloads.
Confidential Serverless
Scalable, confidential execution of workloads without infrastructure responsibility.
Air-Gapped virtual Cloud
Full cloud experience within a physically or logically isolated network architecture.
