Platform Teams Manage Edge Clusters with the Rafay Platform for the Edge
Edge Kubernetes Automation and Governance for Platform Teams
With Rafay, Platform Teams centrally manage the lifecycle of 100s or 1000s of Kubernetes clusters and modern applications at remote locations and the edge.
Rafay's Kubernetes for Edge Makes Life Easy for Platform Teams
Platform Teams ❤️ Rafay because our solution delivers the automation developers and operations want with the right level of standardization, control and governance platform teams need. With Rafay, these teams take advantage of the following platform services:
Automation & Self-Service
Multi-Cluster Management
Manage the lifecycle of K8s clusters for managed Kubernetes services, such as Amazon EKS and Azure AKS, as well as offerings such as Rancher and RedHat OpenShift.
GitOps for Kubernetes
Environment Manager
1 in 4 enterprises take three months or longer to deploy a modern application due to challenges with provisioning environments. Environment Manager automates environment provisioning and accelerates app deployment.
Visibility & Monitoring
Enables development, operations and security/governance teams to visualize and monitor modern apps and underlying Kubernetes infrastructure through dedicated dashboards.
Kubernetes Addon Catalog
Quickly integrate new Kubernetes software addons with clusters and allow admins to curate a catalog of apps developers can deploy in clusters.
Security & Governance
Zero-Trust Access
Enables controlled, audited access for developers, SREs and automation systems to Kubernetes infrastructure.
Blueprints & Drift Detection
Standardize cluster configurations and software add-ons across environments and clouds to achieve compliance.
Cost Management
Get a consolidated view of all your Kubernetes cloud spend across clusters in AWS, Azure, and on-premise datacenters with fine-grained visibility and reporting for shared clusters.
Kubernetes Policy Management
Enables policy management for clusters via the Open Policy Agent (OPA) framework for Kubernetes security and governance.
Network Policy Manager
Enforces isolation boundaries and reduces the lateral attack surface with network flow visualization.
Backup & Restore
Enables disaster recovery and migration of the Kubernetes control plane and application data.
Zero-Trust Security Architecture
The KOP’s unique Zero-Trust Architecture doesn’t require inbound access to your edge 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 performed on edge clusters and applications.
Leverage the Power of SaaS for Kubernetes Cluster Management at the Edge
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, especially for edge applications. Rafay’s SaaS-first approach enables companies to gain efficiencies from Kubernetes almost immediately, thus speeding digital transformation initiatives while keeping operating costs low.
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 visible 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.
