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’s Platform is a Complete Solution for EKS-A Operations
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
Rafay Adds Critical Services to Amazon EKS-A to Streamline Operations
Hybrid and multi-cloud support
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.
GitOps for Kubernetes
Enables AWS infrastructure orchestration and application deployment through multi-stage, git-triggered pipelines.
Visibility & Monitoring
Enables development, operations and security/governance teams to globally visualize and monitor modern apps and underlying EKS/EKS-A infrastructure through dedicated dashboards.
Zero-Trust Access
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.
Blueprints & Drift Detection
Standardize cluster configurations and software add-ons across environments and clouds to achieve compliance
Kubernetes Policy Management
Enable policy management for clusters via the Open Policy Agent (OPA) framework for Kubernetes security and governance.
Network Policy Manager
Enforces isolation boundaries and reduces the lateral attack surface with network flow visualization.
Backup & Restore
Enables disaster recovery and migration of the Kubernetes control plane and application data to Amazon S3.
Environment Manager
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.
