Private Cloud Providers

In Hanzo Cloud, Private Cloud Providers act as a bridge, allowing you to connect to and manage various cloud-native resources, such as Docker and Kubernetes (K8s), directly from the Hanzo Cloud interface. Their core objective is to provide a centralized dashboard for monitoring and operating your containerized services, integrating their management seamlessly into your Hanzo Cloud workflow.

By configuring a provider, you enable Hanzo Cloud to communicate with your private cloud or on-premises data center. This provides an ideal solution for organizations that want a unified interface to manage both their knowledge base and the infrastructure it runs on, enhancing operational efficiency and control.

Refer to the Core Concepts section of our previous documentation for more information about providers.
