Extend Terraform with Rafay’s Validated Terraform Provider
Rafay fully supports IaC driven through HashiCorp’s Terraform. Our official Terraform provider has been validated by Hasicorp and provides a seamless way to enhance Kubernetes services into your existing Terraform workflows.
Automate More Than Just Cluster Provisioning
Most Kubernetes solutions make it really easy to use IaC tools to provision new clusters. But that’s where they stop. Rafay has turnkey services for everything needed to run an Enterprise-grade fleet of Kubernetes clusters from provisioning and access management to cluster Blueprinting and security addons. With Rafay, every workflow you need to run your Kubernetes lifecycle can be automated and governed through the same Terraform approach you’re used to by either augmenting native Terraform or centralizing with Rafay’s Terraform Provider.

Configure & Manage Multi-tenancy
Enterprises can implement both hard and soft tenancy providing multiple levels of isolation boundaries within their organization across different orgs/tenants, projects, workspaces, namespaces, and operating environments.
Manage Users, Groups & Access
Organizations can establish and implement clear separation of duties across functions with support for fine-grained role-based access.
Manage Cluster Blueprints & Drift
Create and easily apply cluster blueprints so it’s easy to standardize your Kubernetes clusters deployed across clouds, data centers and the edge. Get notified and even block clusters from being misconfigured.
Configure & Maintain Backups
Enable disaster recovery and migration of the Kubernetes control plane and application data.
Configure & Manage Network Policies
Centralize control of ingress and egress traffic ensuring that only legitimate traffic is allowed to and from the applications reducing the lateral attack surface – fleet-wide.
Application Configuration Templates & Addons
Ensure every new application is configured the way it is supposed to and has the correct software addons applied.
Integrate & Automate with CI/CD Pipelines
Enable continuous delivery, infrastructure orchestration, and application deployment through multi-stage, git-triggered pipelines.
Manage Security Policies & Addons
Enable policy management for clusters via the Open Policy Agent (OPA) framework for Kubernetes security and governance.
Benefits of Leveraging Rafay for your Infrastructure as Code Initiative
Standardize Clusters
Centrally define, manage and enforce cluster blueprints and workload templates across your environments. Get notified if they change in the wild
Reduce Time-to-Deploy
Leverage Rafay’s GitOps pipelines, Terraform provider, CLI or APIs to continuously provision Kubernetes clusters and for multi-cluster application deployment
Fast Track Day-2 Operations
Utilize Rafay’s turnkey Kubernetes ecosystem tool integrations to upgrade Kubernetes versions and add-ons in minutes, not days.
Self-Service Workflows with Guardrails
Enable stakeholders from engineering, ops and QA to quickly manage their own team's infrastructure with predefined templates that limit access and scope to their apps and clusters.
