Scylos provides a stateless, policy‑driven execution platform called ZeroCore that replaces traditional operating systems on edge devices with an immutable container substrate. Managed via a single‑tenant cloud control plane, it delivers hardware‑agnostic, zero‑trust compute that can be provisioned and destroyed on demand, integrating with CI/CD and orchestration tools for enterprise edge workloads.

Problem
Edge deployments often rely on traditional, stateful operating systems that require persistent storage, complex configuration, and ongoing patch management. This introduces security vulnerabilities, limits hardware flexibility, and increases operational overhead for organizations scaling compute to the edge.
Solution
Scylos delivers a stateless execution surface—ZeroCore—that replaces the conventional OS on edge devices with an immutable, policy‑driven runtime. The platform provisions each endpoint as a temporary container substrate, managed through a single‑tenant, cloud‑based control plane. Because no local data or persistent state is retained, the environment is inherently resistant to tampering and simplifies compliance. ZeroCore runs consistently across heterogeneous hardware, enabling rapid scaling and reducing the need for device‑specific tuning. Integration hooks allow existing CI/CD pipelines and orchestration tools to deploy workloads directly to the ephemeral substrate, turning edge nodes into disposable compute units defined entirely by policy.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprises and service providers that run workloads on distributed edge infrastructure—such as IoT device fleets, digital signage networks, manufacturing automation, regulated healthcare systems, and government high‑assurance deployments.
Features
- Stateless execution layer that boots a containerized substrate without a persistent OS or local storage
- Single‑tenant cloud management console for policy definition, lifecycle control, and remote diagnostics
- Hardware‑agnostic runtime supporting x86, ARM, and specialized edge processors
- Ephemeral endpoint model: each instance is created, used, and destroyed based on workload demand, eliminating long‑term configuration drift
- Built‑in zero‑trust security controls, including immutable boot images and cryptographic attestation of the execution environment
- API‑first integration for CI/CD, Kubernetes, and edge orchestration platforms to automate provisioning
- Compliance‑ready audit logs and role‑based access controls suitable for regulated sectors such as healthcare and government
- Support for a broad set of verticals (IoT, kiosks, video signage, manufacturing, remote workforce, high‑assurance government) with pre‑validated deployment templates
