Overview: Venafi VSatellites

VSatellites are a new, novel and critical part of Next-Gen Trust Security, CyberArk's cloud-native machine identity management service.
VSatellites extend the reach of your Next-Gen Trust Security account beyond publicly accessible networks and hosts, to your on-premise/private cloud networks and machines, enabling you to develop the full picture of your machine identities across your organization, irrespective of public or private visibility.
At the most basic level, Venafi VSatellite is a self-updating application that is a runtime extension of Next-Gen Trust Security that runs within your private infrastructure.
VSatellite is a modern, self-contained, low-footprint, Kubernetes-based application runtime and runs on popular Linux systems.
You manage your own VSatellites remotely using your company's own Next-Gen Trust Security account. So, after your administrators have completed a one-time download and setup of VSatellites on your designated machines (Linux), full administration and management of services for those VSatellites is performed from using the Next-Gen Trust Security web console. This includes self-updates of the VSatellite runtime itself.
