Rafay’s Kubernetes Operations Platform (KOP) delivers the easiest and most recommended way for enterprises to build, manage and operate EKS-A on-premises in their datacenters. Rafay delivers the zero trust access, cloud-based remote management, automation, security, upgrades and governance that platform teams have come to expect from enterprise software.
Rafay builds on the AWS provided tools (eksctl CLI for EKS-A) with multiple value added services for a zero trust end to end lifecycle management of EKS-A clusters.
Cloud based, remote provisioning of EKS-A clusters in remote data centers
Zero trust lifecycle management including provisioning, scaling, and upgrades
Intuitive self service graphical UI and CLI for lifecycle automation
Enables the lifecycle management and blueprinting support for Amazon EKS/EKS-A. This service also incorporates logs/metrics collection, storage management, secrets management, and more.
Enables AWS infrastructure orchestration and application deployment through multi-stage, git-triggered pipelines.
Enables development, operations and security/governance teams to globally visualize and monitor modern apps and underlying EKS/EKS-A infrastructure through dedicated dashboards.
Enables controlled, audited access for developers, SREs and automation systems to Kubernetes infrastructure, with just-in-time service account creation and user-level credentials management, including using AWS IAM.
Standardize cluster configurations and software add-ons across environments and clouds to achieve compliance
Enable policy management for clusters via the Open Policy Agent (OPA) framework for Kubernetes security and governance.
Enforces isolation boundaries and reduces the lateral attack surface with network flow visualization.
Enables disaster recovery and migration of the Kubernetes control plane and application data to Amazon S3.
1 in 4 enterprises take three months or longer to deploy a modern application due to challenges with provisioning environments. Environment Manager automates environment provisioning and accelerates app deployment.
Cloud-Based Zero Trust remote management of EKS-A Clusters
Rafay’s Amazon EKS-A integration means you have one console to manage the operations of all your Amazon EKS-A clusters and applications without having to install software or set up an AWS Kubernetes dashboard.
Drive standardized EKS cluster and application deployments and updates using Git as the source of truth, including write-back to Git using 2-way System Sync
Guarantee that EKS-A clusters are always born with the organization's approved cluster blueprint
Use Rafay’s built in Load Balancer (based on MetaLB) and Ingress Controller (based on NGINX Ingress)
One-time setup of a Gateway inside your datacenter establishes a secure, outbound connection to the Rafay Controller (zero trust), while keeping EKS-A control planes private
The Rafay Controller makes sure that only users with appropriate privileges can provision and manage EKSA clusters
Comprehensive automation can be quickly developed by using either our UI, command line interface (RCTL) utility, Terraform or REST APIs
Support for both Ubuntu and AWS’s Bottlerocket OS for master and worker nodes
Use Rafay’s managed storage (based on CNCF’s Ceph/Rook) to configure, deploy and operate block, file and object storage on EKSA clusters
Rafay provides built-in, detailed audit trails for administrative activities across all EKS-A clusters as well as intuitive, integrated monitoring, visualization and alerts
