Kubernetes Management Cloud
Enterprise-Grade Kubernetes Management, Finally
A SaaS-first Kubernetes management solution with enterprise-class scalability, zero-trust security and interoperability for managing apps across public clouds, data centers & edge
SaaS-First Approach
Realize all the benefits of the cloud including instant scalability, automatic updates and the lowest TCO for Kubernetes management with Rafay’s SaaS-first Kubernetes Management Cloud (KMC). Companies requiring air-gapped deployments for compliance and regulatory reasons can deploy KMC on-premises.
Zero-Trust K8s Architecture
The Kubernetes Management Cloud does not require inbound access to your Kubernetes clusters. No need to poke holes in firewalls or set up SSH access or reverse-tunnels. Zero-Trust Kubectl Access governs Kubectl activity by end-users as well as CI/CD systems with role-based access control (RBAC) and auditing of all actions.
Scalability & Fleet Management
Why manage clusters one by one? It’s time-consuming and prone to errors that result in non-standard environments. With the KMC, you can manage your fleet collectively. Create, deploy, operate, monitor, upgrade and retire 1 or 1,000+ clusters just as easily across any number of multiple, heterogeneous regions, clouds and environments.
Deep Distro Interoperability
Don’t get locked into a single Kubernetes distro across clouds. Freely use GKE in GCP, AKS in Azure, and EKS in AWS. Avoid vendor lock-in and preserve your company’s ability to deploy, manage & move containerized workloads between cloud, data center, and the edge.
Enterprise Integrations
Your Kubernetes deployments can’t be considered enterprise-class without integrating them with the Kubernetes, security and governance systems enterprises use most. Rafay includes integrations with Okta, AzureAD, Jenkins, Hashicorp Terraform & Vault, Datadog and a number of others that are just a few clicks away.
World-class Services & Support
When blogs and community resources aren’t enough, partner with Rafay’s deep bench of certified Kubernetes experts to jump-start & customize your Kubernetes journey.
Day 1 and Day 2 Kubernetes Management Capabilities in a Single Platform
Rafay delivers a production-ready Kubernetes management platform that streamlines ongoing operations as you scale
Centralized Multi-Cluster Management
Deploy, manage and upgrade your Kubernetes clusters from a single console across all of your on-premises, bare metal, cloud, and edge environments.
Automated Lifecycle Management
Users can quickly provision and start using CNCF-compliant Kubernetes clusters in any environment. Cluster updates and upgrades are seamless with no downtime.
MFA, SSO & Role-Based Access Control
The KMC easily integrates with enterprise-class SSO solutions such as Okta, Ping One and AzureAD
Zero-Trust Kubectl Access
Empower operations and development teams to easily access clusters via kubectl while complying with regulatory and governance requirements -- enforced via easy RBAC configuration. All access is audited, and DOES NOT require inbound firewall rules.
Integrate & Automate
Comprehensive automation can be quickly developed by using either our Command Line Interface (RCTL) utility or REST APIs
Standardize Clusters & Workflows
Create and easily apply cluster blueprints so it’s easy to standardize your Kubernetes clusters deployed across clouds, data centers and the edge.
Centralized Logging & Monitoring
Rafay provides turnkey integration with Fluentd, Prometheus, Splunk, Datadog and a number of other logging/metrics platforms for detailed cluster resource visibility and monitoring.
Low Total Cost of Ownership
Rafay is up and running in less than 1 day and requires less than 1 full-time resource to operate & manage all clusters on an ongoing basis.
CNCF-Certified Service Provider
Rafay is certified by the CNCF and the Rafay KMC, supports the same APIs as upstream Kubernetes ensuring compatibility with other distros.

Single Pane of Glass Management for all your Kubernetes Clusters
The KMC is a SaaS platform that works natively with cloud-based Kubernetes offerings, e.g. GKE for GCP, AKS for Azure, and EKS for AWS. For on-premises and edge use cases, KMC natively provides a CNCF-compliant upstream K8s to manage the complete lifecycle of Kubernetes clusters.
…With Built-in Zero-Trust Security
The KMC’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.
