NetFoundry Self-Hosted

Cloud-hosted infrastructure isn't always the right fit. NetFoundry Self-Hosted is a Kubernetes-based deployment of OpenZiti network infrastructure that you run in your own datacenter or cloud environment.

Use NetFoundry Self-Hosted when you need:

  • Full ownership of the controller and routers in your own infrastructure
  • An air-gapped or isolated deployment where the controller is only reachable from within a private network
  • Compliance or security requirements that prevent using a cloud-hosted controller

What's included​

  • OpenZiti controller: Deploys the controller with full PKI infrastructure for the control plane.
  • Ziti Admin Console (ZAC): Web UI for managing your network, deployed alongside the controller.
  • Edge router: One router is deployed by default. A controller and router together give you a fully functional network ready to pass traffic immediately.
  • Support stack (optional): Monitoring and logging built on Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, Logstash, and Kibana, pre-configured with telemetry dashboards and searchable logs. Requires a NetFoundry access token.
  • Backup and recovery tooling: Automated Velero-based cluster backups, restore scripts, and database snapshot scheduling for disaster recovery and cluster migration.
