Blueprints & Drift Detection

Standardize, Curate and Enforce Cluster Configs Across Your Fleet

Centralize configurations for cluster standardization encompassing software add-ons and governance policies while ensuring continuous reconciliation with drift detection across dev, QA, and production environments.

Standardize Deployment of Clusters and Kubernetes Software Addons Required by Your Enterprise

With Rafay, platform teams can ensure that clusters are in always in compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements

Ensure that clusters are configured with a set of baseline components and policies across environments and clouds

Create, share and mandate pre-configured templates that enable consistency and ease of deployment

Implement drift detection and reconciliation based on version controlled Blueprints to eliminate out of band changes

Standardize Cluster Configurations

Ensure consistency of clusters by allowing your developers to select from a set of preapproved cluster configurations. Once a custom Cluster Blueprint has been created, it can be used during initial provisioning or applied to existing clusters in a declarative way using GitOps. Blueprints can be created centrally and shared across projects ensuring the entire enterprise—across departments and across the globe—is using standardized clusters.
