Akuity Platform
Simpler and safer Kubernetes application delivery, using Argo CD
Same Argo CD, but better
Fast setup, better security, less operational headaches, and much more
Next-level Security
- Secrets are isolated within the cluster, limiting vulnerability to 3rd party intrusions
- No need to have Kubernetes credentials in a centralized location
- Networks remain private, with only outbound traffic required
Single Control Plane
- Manage all your applications and environments using one control plane
- One click version updates across all apps and environments
Scale up Instantly
- No need for manual sharding
- No need for fine-tuning Argo CD components
- Better resource allocation
- No network bottlenecks, we only transmit deployment metadata
No operational headaches
Take the complexity out of managing multiple Argos, and streamline the deployment pipeline through simple and easy-to-use interface
Innovative Agent-based Architecture
Superior 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.
Strong Compliance and Governance
The platform provides an extra layer of visibility with audit logs, deployment reports, and DORA metrics. It also takes care of governance with SSO configuration, RBAC, system accounts, and external access configuration.
Single Control Plane
Akuity provides one control plane for all Argo CD applications deployed to clusters.
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 run and Akuity will ensure that your clusters will be seamlessly updated or downgraded to it. This also includes applying security patches right after their release.
Flexible Argo CD Architecture
Dynamically choose a host cluster for Argo CD components. The following components' location is configurable: Application Set, Repo Server or Image Updater.
On-premises Solution Available
The on-premises version of Akuity is a fully-functional branch of the product that will be updated with new features and innovations alongside the SaaS offering.
Scalability & Cost Optimization
Massive Scalability
With custom fine tuning and unique distributed architecture, Akuity can support 35K applications inside one Argo CD instance.
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.
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
Change Promotion Orchestration
Model the delivery of application changes in a more granular, environment-specific way.
Basic Settings Management
Manage the basic Argo CD settings from Akuity dashboard in a declarative way – customize your Argo CD in a flash.
Argo CD Notifications
Configure your Argo CD notifications using Akuity’s intuitive user interface.
Deployment Metrics and History
Store and analyze deployment metrics inside the Akuity Platform. Troubleshoot failed deployments faster.
Argo CD Extensions Catalog
Enable such crucial Argo CD extensions as Argo Rollouts UI and Argo Metrics with one click.
