Self-Hosted Release Control Plane (Non-K8s)

Evidence-grade releases — from build to proof

Stella Ops binds SBOM, reachability proof, VEX, and approvals to every promotion gate for non-Kubernetes deployments. Each promotion produces a signed, replayable Decision Capsule that auditors can verify offline — months later.

Built for security-conscious teams

What you get

Ship safely

Block risky promotions before they reach production — with policy gates backed by evidence, not just scanner output.

Know why

Every verdict traces back to concrete inputs: SBOM, reachability proofs, policy snapshot, and approvals.

Prove it

Export a signed Decision Capsule. Replay the decision deterministically, without network access.

Core Capabilities

Every Decision is Auditable

  • Decision Capsules — every promotion is a signed, exportable evidence bundle
  • Deterministic Replay — re-run any decision with frozen inputs, get bit-for-bit identical output
  • Offline Verification — auditors validate signatures and replay without network access
Terminal
$ stella promote api:v2.1.0 --env staging
✓ Scanning SBOM (sha256:a1b2c3d4...)
✓ Reachability analysis — 3 CVEs filtered
✓ Policy evaluation — PASS

From evaluation to production

A clear path from first scan to enterprise rollout.

1

Evaluate

Self-build from source. Scan your first digest. Export your first Decision Capsule. Free tier: 3 environments, 999 scans/month.

2

Pilot

Request an access token for signed images and managed updates. Define your promotion graph. Run your first policy-gated release.

3

Production

Upgrade to Plus or Pro for production use. Scale environments and scan volume. Enable enterprise procurement support as needed.

Five steps — from connect to proof

  1. 1

    Connect

    Link registries, CI, and targets. Track releases by immutable digests.

  2. 2

    Bundle

    Generate SBOM and capture promotion-ready inputs as a single release unit.

  3. 3

    Gate

    Evaluate policy against evidence (including reachability) at each environment boundary.

  4. 4

    Deploy

    Execute agentless deployments — canary, rolling, blue-green — with safe rollback.

  5. 5

    Prove

    Export a signed Decision Capsule — replayable, verifiable, audit-ready.

Contains: SBOM, reachability proof, policy snapshot, mock approvals. Signature + public key included for local verification.
