About

Tacconi Consulting Ltd

We help teams design, build, and operate reliable platforms, and accelerate software delivery with spec-driven code generation and pragmatic AI workflows.

kcore grew out of our infrastructure work. We kept running into the same problem: managing VMs on bare metal was either too manual or required buying into a heavyweight platform. So we built something that fits how we actually work — declarative, API-driven, and simple enough to run on a single node or scale across many.

Open core and licensing

kcore uses an open-core model: the platform core is Apache-2.0, and subscriptions cover the official supported distribution, curated production updates, and commercial support. Pricing is per physical CPU socket; details are on the pricing page.

Pricing and editions

Who we work with

• ‣ Organisations looking for pragmatic AI adoption — without hype.
• ‣ Teams modernising legacy estates with a structured approach.
• ‣ Regulated or on-prem environments where control and auditability matter.
• ‣ Platform and infrastructure teams that need reliability and clear ownership.

How we work

Same discipline across infrastructure and software: discovery, architecture, implementation, handover. For AI-assisted work: human-in-the-loop, tests first, CI gates before merge. Automation and CI from the start; documentation and runbooks as deliverables.
