Running GPU Infrastructure on Kubernetes: What Enterprise Platform Teams Must Get Right

Scaling GPUs on Kubernetes is a governance problem, where utilization, cost control, and access define success.

Advancing GPU Scheduling and Isolation in Kubernetes

GOpen-source momentum, driven in part by NVIDIA, is pushing GPUs into Kubernetes as native resources, with advances in allocation, scheduling, and isolation.

Flexible GPU Billing Models for Modern Cloud Providers — Powering the AI Factory with Rafay

AI at scale demands flexible GPU billing. Rafay helps cloud providers move beyond pay-as-you-go to unlock utilization, revenue, and enterprise-ready consumption.

Stop Paying for Resources Your Pods Don't Need

Overprovisioned pods silently drain your budget. Here’s how to right-size resources and ensure you only pay for what your workloads actually use.

Empowering Platform Teams: Doing More with Less in the Kubernetes Era

This blog details the specific features of the Rafay Platform Version 4.0 Which Further Simplifies Kubernetes Management and Accelerates Cloud-Native Operations for Enterprises and Cloud Providers

Support for Parallel Execution with Rafay's Integrated GitOps Pipeline

Simplifying Day-2 Operations with Agent Pools

Enforcing ServiceNow-Based Approvals with Rafay

Enterprises often require explicit approvals before critical actions can proceed especially when provisioning infrastructure or making configuration changes.

How Platform Teams can enable developers to use their preferred Kubernetes Tools

There are cases where developers may prefer to use tools on their laptops such as Lens Desktop to visualize resources and interact with Kubernetes clusters. The use of a desktop based app such as Lens can be a better user experience for developers over the Kubectl CLI.

Multi-tenancy: Best practices for shared Kubernetes clusters

Some of the key questions that platform teams have to think about very early on in their K8s journey are: How many clusters should I have? What is the right number for my organization?

Goodbye PodSecurityPolicy, Hello OPA Gatekeeper

The recently released version of Kubernetes v1. 25 removed the ‘PodSecurityPolicy (PSP)’ capability.

Webinar Follow-Up: Secure your Kubernetes Infrastructure with Zero Trust Principles

During this webinar, Ashish Kar, VP of Product Management at Aarali Networks, and Naveen Chakrapani, Director of Product Management at Rafay Systems, covered securing K8s environments with Zero Trust principles. You can access the recording of the webinar here .

Powering Developer Self-Service for Application teams using Workspaces

In a previous blog post , we described how platform teams can leverage Rafay’s Cluster Templates capability to enable a self-service model where application teams can provision clusters on demand. And now, platform teams can configure the necessary restrictions on resource values as part of Cluster Templates to achieve compliance and standardization.

Easily Deploy Approved Technologies and Full-Stack Solutions with Custom Catalogs

As customers scale up their Kubernetes (K8s) environments, it becomes critical to create a process that ensures only applications that are vetted and approved are deployed to clusters. Without that, it is impossible for customers to standardize clusters, implement best practices and achieve compliance.

Simplify Policy Management with Rafay and OPA Gatekeeper

In a previous blog post , we described how OPA Gatekeeper can be leveraged to enforce policies and strengthen governance in Kubernetes environments. We also covered the challenges customers face when implementing OPA Gatekeeper at scale across many clusters.

Managing Policies on Kubernetes using OPA Gatekeeper

As customers scale up their Kubernetes (K8s) environments by adding more clusters and applications, it becomes critical to solve for a consistent, repeatable process to enforce policies and strengthen governance without sacrificing development agility. The OPA Gatekeeper project was conceptualized to provide the necessary tooling to help address this problem.
