Akuity Platform
Simpler, safer, and faster Kubernetes application delivery, using Argo
With Akuity, DevOps engineers and app developers can do more, with less friction.Akuity Platform: Key Benefits
Increased Security
Secrets are isolated within the cluster, limiting vulnerability to 3rd party intrusions
Cost Savings
Agent-based architecture reduces traffic between clusters and the control plane by up to 80%
Best Developer Experience
Real-life DevOps use cases using battle-tested patterns
Rooted in Argo, which is loved by developers
Built on an Innovative, Agent-based Architecture
Increased Security
The Akuity platform has an agent-based architecture, allowing the cluster to connect to the Argo control plane (not the other way around). Secrets stay safe in the Kubernetes clusters.
Minimize Traffic
Akuity maintains your Argo CD instances and ensures minimal traffic between the Argo control plane and your environments. This saves money from day one.
Single Control Plane
Akuity provides one control plane for all Argo CD applications deployed to clusters.
Argo is trusted by
Akuity Platform Features
Extend the power of Argo, making Kubernetes deployments easier and controllable.
Security
Hybrid Agent-based Architecture
Akuity doesn’t need secrets nor even direct access to your Kubernetes clusters. Thanks to an agent-based architecture, the clusters connect to the Argo control plane and not the other way around.
Built-in Auditing
Log, store, and analyze all the important events that took place inside your Argo CD control plane. Increase discoverability of any security liabilities and react instantly.
Disaster Recovery and High Availability
Control plane is configured with high availability out-of-the-box and configurations are backed up frequently. No need to recreate your Argo CD configuration after your cluster goes down.
Argo CD Upgrades and Security Patches
Decide which Argo CD version you want to runand Akuity will ensure that your clusters will be seamlessly updated or downgraded to it. This also includes applying security patches right after their release.
Scalability & Cost Optimization
Traffic Reduction
Akuity reduces traffic between the Argo control plane and your Kubernetes clusters by at least 80%. This enables you to manage all the edge clusters without worrying about the bandwidth limit, and save money from the start.
Built-in Autoscaler
With a built-in and configured autoscaler, your Argo CD will be automatically tuned to accommodate the ever changing size of managed infrastructure with the guarantee of high performance.
Developer experience
Basic Settings Management
Manage the basic Argo CD settings from Akuity dashboard in a declarative way - customize your Argo CD in a flash.
