Kubernetes Infrastructure & Modern Application Automation
Automate Lifecycle Management for Both K8s Clusters and Apps
As the number of modern applications grows so does the operational burden of managing the lifecycle of Kubernetes clusters and Kubernetes applications. By uniquely adding automation capabilities across both clusters and applications, Rafay allows enterprises to speed the delivery and reduce the complexity of managing modern applications.
Key Features for Kubernetes Clusters & Application Lifecycle Automation
Rafay uniquely provides numerous automation features to standardize operations, reduce the time to deploy, streamline Day 2 operations, and increase reliability and repeatability of Kubernetes cluster and application lifecycle management
Features for Kubernetes Infrastructure
Cluster Provisioning
Distribution agnosic k8s lifecycle management with upstream k8s on bare metal, VM and cloud k8s distributions such as EKS, EKS-D, AKS, GKE, OKE, OpenShift. Prepackaged form factor for OpenStack and VMWare environments
Infra as Code
Leverage declarative model, infrastructure as code (IaC) and GitOps to ensure the standardized and compliant desired states
1-Click Add-On Integrations
Open and unopinionated integrations with existing automation tools such as Terraform, Ansible, CI platforms (such as Jenkins, CircleCI, GitHub, GitLab) and REST APIs
Cluster Templates and Blueprints
Standardize and govern clusters with reusable blueprints. Apply them across your infrastructure and either block or get notified when clusters are noncompliant
Automated K8s Upgrades
Manage and seamlessly upgrade your Kubernetes clusters & OS in-place from a single console across all of your on-premises, bare metal, cloud, and edge environments
Features for Modern Applications
K8s Application Deployments
Unified approach to deploy and operate different application types (e.g., K8s YAML, helm charts, VMs)
CI/CD Pipeline Integrations
Turnkey integrations with your existing CI/CD pipelines based on Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab, GitHub etc.
Native GitOps Pipelines
Drive application deployments and updates using Git as the source of truth
Intent-Based Application Deployments
Intelligently deploy applications where they are needed based on policy, labels, namespaces, geography, etc.
Workload Templates
Standardize and govern applications with reusable templates
Ecosystem Integrations
Open and unopinionated integrations with popular application components such as Hashicorp Vault and DataDog, etc.
