Your Central Platform for Kubernetes Cluster Management
Experience maximum flexibility and security with Hangar, the innovative solution for managing and deploying Kubernetes clusters.
Implementing this Kubernetes cluster management efficiently and securely is a challenge that poses problems for many companies.
The innovative platform from Hangar solves these problems while providing maximum control, flexibility, and efficiency.
Hangar – The perfect solution for your Kubernetes cluster management
Rely on Hangar for more security, flexibility and efficiency. Be your own service provider.
Headless Kubernetes for Efficient and Secure Cluster Management
Hangar deploys Kubernetes control planes directly within Kubernetes itself. This innovative “headless Kubernetes” approach enables the use of any worker nodes while ensuring higher security and improved access control through the physical separation of control planes and workload clusters.
Flexibility and Adaptability for Your Kubernetes Environment
Hangar provides flexibility to users while key control mechanisms remain centrally managed in the external control plane. External integrations are implemented through the control plane, ensuring clear separation of responsibilities and optimized adaptability.
Enhanced Security with Control Plane and Workload Cluster Separation
Traditional cluster-as-a-service solutions often fall short in managing permissions and roles. Hangar addresses this challenge by physically separating the control plane from the workload cluster. This prevents privilege escalation and allows for secure, generous permissions within Kubernetes.
Lower Costs and Administrative Effort
Several control plans are orchestrated in an external cluster, which only requires resources when in active use. Thanks to automated updates and dynamic scaling, you can minimize administrative effort and operating costs.

Common Challenges – and How Hangar Solves Them
Hangar tackles the common challenges of Kubernetes cluster management, providing a secure, flexible, and efficient solution. Become your own service provider and take control with a platform tailored to your needs.
How can security risks from combining the control plane and workload clusters be avoided?
In most cluster-as-a-service solutions, the control plane and workload cluster are bundled together. This increases the risk of privilege escalation and makes access control difficult.
Solution: Hangar enhances security by physically separating the control plane from the workload cluster. This setup allows for flexible, safe role-based access within Kubernetes, eliminating the risk of unauthorized access.
What can be done when a Kubernetes solution lacks flexibility and adaptability?
Traditional cluster approaches often restrict flexibility because services are tightly coupled. This limits the ability to integrate external systems or adapt to specific needs.
Solution: Hangar provides user flexibility while centralizing control mechanisms in an externally managed control plane. External system integrations are handled at the control plane level, ensuring seamless adaptability without disrupting user operations.
How can high costs and wasted resources caused by rigid structures be reduced?
Achieving high availability typically requires running multiple servers for control planes, even when they’re underutilized. This leads to unnecessary costs and increases administrative effort.
Solution: Hangar orchestrates multiple control planes in an external cluster, ensuring resources are only used during active operations. Automated updates and dynamic scaling reduce management overhead and significantly cut operational expenses.
How can permissions and role management be made clear, secure, and flexible?
In many Kubernetes environments, the lack of clear service and permission separation complicates role management and increases security vulnerabilities.
Solution: Hangar addresses this by physically separating the control plane and workload cluster, creating a clear boundary for role management. This prevents privilege escalation and enables secure, flexible role assignment.
