The latest Radar report from GigaOm, Managed Kubernetes Rafay is ranked as an “Outperformer” for its solution.
Kubernetes Sandbox
Explore how modern teams deliver Kubernetes with self-service, governance, and scale.
Not looking for a toy sandbox? Neither are we.
If you’re evaluating Kubernetes platforms, what you really want isn’t a disposable cluster — it’s to understand how teams deliver Kubernetes as a service in production.
The best way to get started is to have a conversation with us so we can understand you're specific use cases and how either our Kubernetes and/or GPU PaaS offering can support your needs. We're also happy to give you a guided walk-through in a demo – request one today.
Common FAQs
Questions about Kubernetes sandboxes, demos, and how to evaluate Rafay.
Why we don’t offer a generic Kubernetes sandbox.
Rafay is designed to operate Kubernetes the way it runs in the real world — with governance, multi-tenancy, identity, and production-grade infrastructure. A generic, self-serve sandbox wouldn’t reflect how the platform actually works or the value it delivers. Instead, we offer guided demos and architecture-based walkthroughs that show how teams use Rafay to deliver Kubernetes-as-a-Service in production environments.
How can I see the Kubernetes management offering of the Rafay Platform?
The best way to see the Rafay Platform's Kubernetes management offering is to schedule a conversation with us. We offer guided Kubernetes platform demos based on real customer environments — not generic sandboxes. We will tailor the walk through to your specific use cases and needs.
Do you offer a free Kubernetes sandbox or trial?
Rafay no longer offers a self-serve Kubernetes sandbox or free trial. While we previously offered a lightweight sandbox experience, it no longer reflected how customers use Rafay in real production environments. Today, we focus on guided demos and architecture-based walkthroughs that more accurately demonstrate the platform’s capabilities.
What’s the difference between a Kubernetes sandbox and a guided demo?
A Kubernetes sandbox is typically a single, isolated cluster with limited configuration and no real governance, identity, or multi-tenant context. A guided Rafay demo shows how Kubernetes is delivered and operated in real-world environments — including self-service provisioning, access controls, policy enforcement, and multi-tenant usage. This provides a more realistic view of how teams evaluate and run Kubernetes at scale.
How can I see Rafay working in a real Kubernetes environment?
The best way to see Rafay in action is through a guided Kubernetes platform demo. These demos are based on real customer architectures and use cases — not disposable sandbox clusters. During the walkthrough, we demonstrate how teams use Rafay to provision, govern, and operate Kubernetes across cloud, on-prem, or GPU infrastructure.
Is Rafay suitable for development, testing, or proof-of-concept use cases?
Yes. Rafay is commonly used to deliver Kubernetes-as-a-Service for development, testing, and production workloads. While we don’t provide a generic sandbox, teams often evaluate Rafay through guided demos or scoped proof-of-concept discussions that reflect their intended environment, tooling, and governance requirements.
