+
+Palette offers a range of additional capabilities designed to enable its users to deploy, scale, and effectively manage
+Kubernetes workloads across a wide variety of environments and deployment options.
+
+This section introduces you to some of Palette's additional capabilities, which include:
+
+- Managing thousands of clusters in remote locations with [Edge](./edge.md).
+- Supporting high-security requirements with our FIPS-validated [VerteX](./self-hosted.md#palette-vertex) edition.
+- Self-hosting the Palette management plane in your own environment with
+  [Self-Hosted Palette](./self-hosted.md#self-hosted-palette).
+- Integrating virtual machine workloads into Kubernetes environments with [Virtual Machine Orchestrator](./vmo.md).

+
+Palette Edge enables you to deploy Kubernetes workloads in remote locations characterized by limited or intermittent
+connectivity and limited compute infrastructure. This means you can deploy Kubernetes clusters at scale and ensure
+application performance, availability, security, and lifecycle management across a diverse range of edge locations.
+These locations include hospitals, retail stores, Telco environments, restaurants, manufacturing facilities, rural
+areas, and many more.
+
+Palette Edge supports both VM and container-based workloads, multiple Kubernetes distributions, and Intel and ARM
+hardware architectures. It is built on top of the open-source project [Kairos](https://kairos.io/), which enables the
+creation and customization of immutable versions of operating systems. Additionally, Palette Edge is designed to scale
+to tens of thousands of locations while enforcing policies locally within each cluster.
+
+Edge clusters are Kubernetes clusters set up on Edge hosts. These hosts can be bare metal or virtual machines located in
+isolated locations. Palette deploys and manages workload clusters at the Edge, and the services continue operating even
+when the connection to the management plane is lost. You can manage Edge clusters locally on-site through Local UI, or
+centrally through the Palette management plane. Palette Edge is able to meet your needs, regardless of the network
+topology your deployments face.
+
+Palette Edge also allows you to be confident that all software operating on your Edge hosts is authenticated software
+verified through cryptographic signatures. [Trusted Boot](../../clusters/edge/trusted-boot/trusted-boot.md) is the
+security feature that ensures the authenticity of the boot processes. In the event that an Edge device is lost or
+stolen, the
+[Trusted Platform Module (TPM)](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/business/enterprise-computers/resources/trusted-platform-module.html)
+will not release the key to decrypt the disk encryption if the boot process is tampered with, ensuring your user data
+remains encrypted.
+
+## Resources
+
+To learn more about Palette Edge, review the [Edge](../../clusters/edge/edge.md) section to learn more about Edge and
+its features. Then, follow the [Deploy an Edge Cluster on VMware](../../tutorials/edge/deploy-cluster.md) tutorial to
+learn how to build Edge artifacts, prepare VMware VMs as Edge hosts using the Edge installer ISO, create a cluster
+profile referencing a provider image, and deploy a cluster.
+
+Check out the following video for a quick overview of how you can provision and manage thousands of edge Kubernetes
+clusters with Palette.

+
+## Self-Hosted Palette
+
+By default, the Palette management plane is available as a multi-tenant SaaS deployment in a public cloud with multiple
+availability zones. Should you need it, Palette is also offered as a dedicated SaaS instance, as well as a fully
+self-hosted option that allows your teams to directly deploy and manage a private instance of the Palette management
+plane in your data center or public cloud provider.
+
+Self-hosted Palette puts you in full control of the management plane, including its configuration and the timing of
+upgrades. A self-hosted instance may be necessary to meet compliance requirements or your organization's security
+policies. You may also need to deploy an instance of Palette within an airgapped facility to manage clusters where
+access to any outside service is not possible.
+
+## Palette VerteX
+
+Palette VerteX offers a simple, flexible, and secure way for government and regulated industries to deploy and manage
+Kubernetes workloads containing sensitive and classified information. It is available as a self-hosted platform offering
+that you can install in your data center or public cloud provider.
+
+Palette VerteX is fully proven in operational environments as it has a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 9 designation,
+making it suitable for use in high-security production environments up to Impact Levels (IL) 5, 6, and 6+. It enables
+you to deploy and manage the life cycle of multiple Kubernetes clusters in various environments. These include
+virtualized and bare metal data centers (such as [VMware vSphere](https://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere.html) and
+[Nutanix](https://www.nutanix.com/)), clouds (including [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/govcloud-us/) and
+[Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/explore/global-infrastructure/government) government clouds), and edge
+locations (including air-gapped setups), which makes VerteX also appropriate for addressing challenges like intermittent
+connectivity or low bandwidth.
+
+Additionally, VerteX incorporates validated Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 cryptographic modules
+into its management plane and the Kubernetes clusters it deploys. It secures data in motion through encrypted Transport
+Layer Security (TLS) communication channels, includes a suite of scanning tools, and offers CONUS support from a
+dedicated public sector team. These capabilities ensure robust data protection for your organization’s infrastructure
+and applications.
+
+## Resources
+
+Check out the [Self-Hosted Palette](../../enterprise-version/enterprise-version.md) section to learn how to install the
+self-hosted version of Palette in your data centers or public cloud providers.
+
+Review the [Palette VerteX](../../vertex/vertex.md) section to learn how to install and configure VerteX in your data
+centers or public cloud providers.

+
+Palette Virtual Machine Orchestrator (VMO) allows you to deploy, manage, and scale traditional VM workloads within a
+modern Kubernetes environment, side by side with your containerized applications. It lets you apply to VMs the same
+lifecycle management capabilities as Palette applies to containers, including backups.
+
+VMO uses the CNCF project [KubeVirt](https://kubevirt.io) to manage VMs as Kubernetes pods, ensuring complete mapping
+between the VM and Kubernetes concepts. This solution also has near complete feature parity with
+[VMware vSphere](https://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere.html), including capabilities such as live migration.
+
+Palette VMO can be used on edge hosts, giving the ability to deploy VM workloads at the edge without the overhead of a
+hypervisor layer. This is achieved by leveraging [Canonical MAAS](https://maas.io). Additionally, VMO can also be used
+in self-hosted, airgapped, and in our SaaS environments. Learn more on the
+[Virtual Machine Orchestrator](../../vm-management/vm-management.md) page.
+
+## Resources
+
+To learn more about Palette VMO, review the [Architecture](../../vm-management/architecture.md) page to learn about the
+components involved in enabling VMO for your infrastructure. Then, review the
+[Create a VMO Profile](../../vm-management/create-vmo-profile.md) guide to prepare everything you need to deploy your
+first cluster with VMO.
+
+Check out the following video for a tour of Palette's Virtual Machine Orchestrator (VMO) capability. It shows how you
+can model, deploy, and manage VM workloads alongside containers in your clusters.
