Aranya Inc.

Aranya Inc. provides a personal cluster operating system, ClusterdOS, designed to make production-grade Kubernetes infrastructure accessible to individual developers and teams without requiring a dedicated platform team. The company was founded by Emil Persson, Daniel Lilja, and Christoffer Jacobsson, who later bought back all shares in the company to focus on long-term investment in personnel, quality, and solutions.

The core product, ClusterdOS, is a GitOps-native distributed operating system that simplifies the adoption of Kubernetes. It functions as an operating system layer on top of Kubernetes, which acts as the kernel. This model abstracts away much of the platform engineering, allowing users to focus on architecture. The system is designed to be reproducible and self-healing, with the entire cluster defined in a single file. Management of the cluster can be done through simple Git commands, making it accessible to those without extensive Kubernetes experience.

Aranya's business model is centered on its open-source ClusterdOS, which is provider-agnostic and works with cloud, bare metal, or GPU compute providers. The company also generates revenue through managed Kubernetes services for select teams with complex infrastructure needs and has enterprise clients running critical workloads, including large-scale inference pipelines. The platform is built for compute-intensive workloads that require scaling, such as AI inference, batch jobs, distributed training, and API serving, with a particular focus on teams running GPU workloads. Aranya is also developing a product called Vibecluster, intended to facilitate collaborative distributed environments for teams.
