Sidero Labs Named a Fast Mover in the 2025 GigaOm Radar for Kubernetes at the Edge

Sidero Labs, delivering solutions that reduce friction in managing Kubernetes and containerized applications, today announced it has been named a Fast Mover and Challenger in the 2025 GigaOm Radar on Kubernetes for Edge Computing. The report provides forward-looking analysis to help enterprises evaluate solutions for deploying and managing Kubernetes environments at the network edge. Sidero’s integrated platform, Omni, excels by connecting customers’ Kubernetes clusters at the edge—as well as those on bare metal and in the cloud—with simple and centralized management.

“The GigaOm Radar recognition validates our approach to solving real-world challenges organizations face when extending Kubernetes to the edge,” said Steve Francis, CEO, Sidero Labs. “As businesses deploy more compute capacity closer to data sources, they need solutions that eliminate complexity while ensuring security, compliance, and operational control. We’re focused on delivering that unified, seamless experience without compromising on enterprise requirements. It’s why some of the largest businesses in the world trust Omni with mission-critical applications.”

Sidero Labs’ Omni platform delivers SaaS-simple Kubernetes deployment and management optimized for edge environments. The GigaOm report highlights several competitive strengths that position Sidero as an innovator in this rapidly evolving space:

- Advanced connectivity: Native dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 networking, Multus CNI support, and integrated WireGuard encryption ensure secure communication across various network topologies, making it highly adaptable for resource-constrained edge environments.
- Talos Linux integration: Sidero’s built-for-Kubernetes immutable operating system Talos Linux enhances security, consistency, and maintenance in distributed environments.
Its minimal attack surface and API-first approach eliminate SSH access vulnerabilities while providing centralized control of edge clusters.
- Remote management: Omni scales across thousands of clusters with centralized, API-driven control. WireGuard-based remote access ensures secure oversight in restricted or firewalled locations, unifying multiple deployments under a single management console.
- Workload acceleration: Omni supports multiple GPU drivers, DPUs, SR-IOV, and DPDK network accelerators, making it a powerful asset for performance-intensive edge workloads. Organizations leveraging AI-driven fields can readily scale advanced analytics or inference tasks at remote sites.
- Operational simplicity: The solution delivers streamlined deployment, cluster updates, and secure remote connectivity designed for heterogeneous environments, addressing critical edge requirements around stability and low operational overhead.

“The transition to the edge isn’t just about moving workloads around, it’s about fundamentally rethinking operational models,” said Andrew Rynhard, CTO and founder, Sidero Labs. “Our recognition in the GigaOm Radar reflects our focus on solving the automation gap that exists between centralized IT and distributed edge infrastructure. By applying immutable OS principles
and API-first management, Omni is helping teams achieve the same level of DevOps maturity at the edge that they’ve come to expect in their cloud environments, while also addressing the very unique constraints of edge computing.”

Sidero continues to gain traction with enterprises deploying Kubernetes across distributed infrastructures, with its solutions now managing tens of thousands of clusters globally across retail, manufacturing, telecom, and other edge-intensive industries. Read the full report here.
