Kubernetes Operations Platform
A Modern Approach to Managing Modern Infrastructure
Only Rafay delivers the platform services needed by Platform and SRE teams to operate Kubernetes infrastructure and modern applications
Rafay Makes Life Easy for Platform and SRE Teams
The Rafay Kubernetes Operations Platform augments the enterprise platform team through the broad set of services needed to accelerate application modernization initiatives. Rafay delivers the following services to Platform and SRE teams — across both Kubernetes infrastructure and modern applications:
Multi-Cluster Management Service
Enables the lifecycle management and blueprinting support for managed Kubernetes services, such as Amazon EKS and Azure AKS, as well as offerings such as Rancher and RedHat OpenShift.
Learn More
GitOps Service
Enables infrastructure orchestration and application deployment through multi-stage, git-triggered pipelines.
Learn More
Zero-Trust Access Service
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.
Learn More
Kubernetes Policy Management Service
Enables policy management for clusters via the Open Policy Agent (OPA) framework for Kubernetes security and governance.
Learn More
Backup & Restore Service
Enables disaster recovery and migration of the Kubernetes control plane and application data.

Rafay empowers Platform and Ops/SRE teams to carry out their function easily, resulting in faster deployments of new apps to production, reduced app downtimes, and elimination of security & compliance risk associated with their infrastructure. With Rafay, all stakeholders are able to take advantage of 4 key sets of capabilities -- across both clusters and applications:
Automation
Clusters
Streamline operations by automating the provisioning, add-on configuration, upgrading, service-account management, and ecosystem integrations for Kubernetes clusters in any cloud, in data centers or at the Edge
Applications
Streamline operations by automating deployment of containerized apps via GitOps and templating methodologies for multi-cluster deployment and easy promotion of workloads from dev to pre-prod to prod environments. Leverage built-in ecosystem integrations to ensure developers are able to debug apps in any environment with ease.
Security
Clusters
Ensure operational security for your Kubernetes clusters across the cloud with Rafay’s zero-trust security and connectivity model. Make your enterprise SSO system the source of truth for all K8s access across data centers and clouds, while enabling seamless kubectl access for operators and developers. The platform delivers lifecycle management of kubeconfigs, service accounts, and user roles.
Applications
Ensure operational security for your application deployment workflows through a turnkey role-based access control model for developers and DevOps engineers. Allow developers controlled access to sensitive infrastructure with full auditing and read-only policies that can be applied on demand.
Visibility
Clusters
Operations and security teams enjoy enterprise-wide, team-specific and per-cluster views via the Rafay platform. They are also able to drill down into each cluster’s resources, visualize container-level events, get visibility into per-cluster alerts, and more.
Applications
Developers enjoy extensive visibility and debugging features for applications deployed in both pre-production and production clusters from a single pane of glass or from their favorite terminal (x-term). Developers also get deep events and error details on their apps (pod level, object level, view of all resources), and more.
Governance
Clusters
Make cluster creation, configuration and update processes repeatable and auditable with Rafay’s cluster lifecycle management methodologies. Customers can consume these features via UI, CLI, Terraform provider or the Rafay API.
Applications
Ensure reliable, controlled deployment of applications to one or more clusters via Rafay’s native GitOps capabilities or via Rafay’s built-in integration with all of the popular continuous integration (CI) tools used by customers. All deployment activity is controlled by Rafay’s zero-trust RBAC model, and all actions are audited.
Zero-Trust Security Architecture
The KOP’s unique zero-trust architecture doesn’t require inbound access to your Kubernetes clusters. Rafay’s Zero-Trust Kubectl Access (ZTKA) governs kubectl activity by end-users as well as CI/CD systems with role-based access control and user-level auditing of all actions.
Leverage the Power of SaaS for Kubernetes Cluster and App Lifecycle Management
As enterprises modernize their applications, they are quickly realizing the significant increase in the cost and resources required to operationally manage Kubernetes clusters and application lifecycles. Rafay’s SaaS-first approach enables companies to gain efficiencies from Kubernetes almost immediately, thus speeding digital transformation initiatives while keeping operating costs low. Benefits of a cloud approach include:
Reliability
Rafay’s platform has consistently maintained >99.99% uptime
Fast time to K8s
Gain the benefits of Kubernetes in hours, not months
Operational Scalability
Easily manage hundreds of clusters and apps in software-defined groups with no management needed for administrative clusters
Zero-Trust Security
Cloak your K8s API endpoints so they’re never visibible on the Internet, and centrally configure role-based access control for easy access to any cluster, anywhere
Deployment Flexibility
Leverage the cloud or deploy the platform in air-gapped environments
