Enterprises Scaling Kubernetes Achieve the Following by Partnering with Rafay
Reduce Their Technology & People Risk
A governance & automation strategy for on-premises and cloud-based Kubernetes clusters requires a level of prior experience and expertise that may not be readily available. Partner with Rafay to do Kubernetes right. We’ve done this 100s of times.
Accelerate Their Modernization Journey
Lack of centralized governance and automation is the 2nd biggest reason why modernization projects stall. Remove bottlenecks for developers and ops teams by leveraging the industry’s most comprehensive Kubernetes Operations platform in the market.
Reduce Their TCO For Kubernetes
Time, new hires and consultants all add up. Working with Rafay results in a lower TCO relative to using other platforms in the market or building a platform in-house.
Enable app teams to easily consume cloud-based and on-premises Kubernetes, while enforcing the governance & control your business requires
Standardized Cluster Configurations
Standardized Cluster ConfigurationsHow Rafay Ensures Success
Easily define reusable cluster specs that can be checked into your favorite git repo (e.g., Gitlab, Github, BitBucket, etc.). Create reusable blueprints for on-premises and cloud-based clusters that can be centrally applied to the entire cluster fleet.
Why Your Company Needs This Now
Every major enterprise treats their K8s infrastructure as cattle, not pets. They can readily provision consistent, standardized clusters as needed through their favorite infrastructure-as-code methodology. You should do the same.
Centralized Addon Management
Centralized Addon ManagementHow Rafay Ensures Success
Update addons across the fleet simply by making changes to a single YAML file corresponding to said addon, and Rafay’s GitOps service takes care of the rest. Optionally leverage Rafay’s managed addons: Ingress, Networking & Storage, OPA/Gatekeeper Policy Management, Backup/Restore, Chargebacks, and more.
Why Your Company Needs This Now
Without a programmatic strategy to install a blessed set of addons on each cluster, you are exposing your business to risks associated with missing addons and ongoing addon lifecycle management. Rafay can even help you pick the best addons for your company .
Terraform- and GitOps-Based Cluster Lifecycle Management
Terraform- and GitOps-Based Cluster Lifecycle ManagementHow Rafay Ensures Success
Add nodes or node-groups, upgrade the Kubernetes version, or provision entirely new Kubernetes clusters using Rafay’s Terraform provider or via Rafay’s GitOps-for-infrastructure capabilities. And all configuration files can be easily backed up in your favorite git repo (e.g., Gitlab, GitHub, BitBucket, etc.).
Why Your Company Needs This Now
Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) based standardization is a must-have for enterprises. Even if you have gone down the Terraform path today, leveraging Rafay’s Terraform provider will reduce your ongoing risk associated with keeping up with new requirements that will surely come up for cluster lifecycle management. Either you can expect your platform team to keep updating your internal Terraform logic, or Rafay can do it for you.

Fleet-Wide Alerting, Auditing and Monitoring
Fleet-Wide Alerting, Auditing and MonitoringHow Rafay Ensures Success
Centrally receive alerts indicating a variety of problems that may occur across your Kubernetes fleet, along with an audit of all developer and SRE activity, plus deep information into cluster, node and resource health. All alert and audit data can be easily streamed to your SIEM of choice (e.g. Splunk, ELK, etc.)
Why Your Company Needs This Now
Centrally managing all alerts from all your clusters across datacenter and cloud environments is a must-have for enterprises. Without this information, SRE teams have to build considerable infrastructure to reduce MTTR. Rafay powers this capability out of the box.
