Introduction & Overview

Modern development teams rely on cloud agility, but that agility often comes with rising costs, compliance challenges, and loss of control.

CloudDTE (Dynamic Test Environment) bridges the gap by bringing cloud-native automation and Kubernetes scalability directly into your datacenter.

Built by Tracston’s Cloud & DevOps architects, CloudDTE delivers an on-premise Kubernetes platform that replicates the experience of EKS / AKS, while running entirely on your own infrastructure.
It’s a self-contained Dev/Test cloud that combines the speed of the public cloud with the governance and security of your private network.

CloudDTE = Dynamic. Secure. Cloud-native agility on bare metal.

Why CloudDTE

Enterprises often face a paradox: they want the flexibility of the public cloud, yet must maintain control over sensitive workloads and data.
CloudDTE solves this by creating a dynamic, Kubernetes-based platform that lives inside your datacenter and behaves like a managed cloud service.

Key Business Advantages

  • 30 % lower TCO compared to public cloud or virtualized infrastructure.
  • Improved performance & predictability — no hypervisor overhead.
  • Enhanced security & compliance — isolated tenancy and local data residency.
  • Full control & customization of hardware, network, and policies.
  • Cloud-like self-service for developers and test teams.

How It Works

CloudDTE transforms your existing physical servers into a private cloud platform powered by Kubernetes and Helm.
It deploys a fully automated environment where Dev/Test teams can:

  • Spin up isolated namespaces or clusters for each project.
  • Deploy applications via Helm charts or CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins integration).
  • Monitor and analyze performance through Grafana and Kibana.
  • Securely manage access and certificates with RBAC and Cert-Manager.

This results in shorter release cycles, fewer cloud dependencies, and tighter control over cost and compliance.

Business Impact

CloudDTE enables organizations to modernize development and testing workflows while maximizing their existing infrastructure investment.

  • Reduce Cloud Spend: Avoid per-instance and egress costs by using in-house resources.
  • Accelerate Delivery: Automated environment creation reduces setup time from days to minutes.
  • <Increase Efficiency: Up to 40 % higher resource utilization on bare metal.
  • Strengthen Compliance: Keep data and intellectual property inside your own infrastructure.
  • Empower Teams: Developers and QA engineers gain self-service cloud-like capabilities without IT bottlenecks.

Summary

CloudDTE is not just another DevOps tool — it’s a complete, self-managed Kubernetes cloud designed for enterprise agility.
It merges Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Containers-as-a-Service (CaaS) into a single framework optimized for Dev/Test use cases.

By removing unnecessary virtualization layers and introducing Helm-driven automation, CloudDTE provides:

  • Higher performance,
  • Simplified operations, and
  • A predictable cost model that beats the public cloud.

Run your Dev/Test cloud your way — securely, efficiently, and on your own terms with Tracston CloudDTE.
