Kubevela
KubeVela is a cloud native application orchestrator and delivery engine for Kubernetes. It serves as an Open Application Model compliant platform designed to decouple application definitions from the underlying infrastructure and operations.
The system acts as a multi-cluster delivery controller that coordinates progressive rollouts, including canary and blue-green strategies, across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It provides a standardized model for managing complex deployment workflows and infrastructure provisioning.
The platform covers broad capability areas including cloud infrastructure orchestration, delivery pipeline monitoring, and multi-tenant access control. These functions enable the automation of environment provisioning and the securing of authentication and authorization across multiple shared clusters.
Features
- Deployment Orchestration - Provides a comprehensive framework for orchestrating automated application deployment workflows across multi-cloud environments.
- Cloud Infrastructure Orchestration - Orchestrates cloud resources and computing tasks as reusable modules within a delivery workflow.
- Cloud Native Orchestration - Provides an orchestration layer for managing the lifecycle of cloud-native applications and their infrastructure.
- Cluster State Reconciliation - Implements a reconciliation loop that ensures the actual state of clusters matches the defined application model.
- Multi-Cloud Application Delivery - Deploys and manages applications across hybrid or multi-cloud environments using a standardized delivery model.
- Custom Resource Definitions - Utilizes Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions to define and manage application delivery models.
- Progressive Delivery Strategies - Automates canary and blue-green rollout strategies linked to real-time health metrics.
- Application State Synchronization - Synchronizes application state across multiple remote clusters by mapping central definitions to local workloads.
- OAM-Based Delivery Engines - Orchestrates application deployments across multi-cloud environments using a standardized OAM model on Kubernetes.
- Multi-Cluster Deployment Managers - Coordinates progressive delivery strategies and rollouts across multiple Kubernetes clusters from a central plane.
- OAM Compliant Platforms - Implements the Open Application Model to decouple application definitions from underlying infrastructure and operations.
- Deployment Workflow Engines - Executes deployment sequences by processing a directed graph of tasks that trigger infrastructure changes.
- Infrastructure Task Modules - Provides a system for packaging infrastructure tasks into reusable modules to customize the orchestration engine.
- Multi-Tenant RBAC - Manages role-based access control and authentication to secure application delivery across shared clusters.
- Role-Based Access Controls - Implements fine-grained role-based access control and directory integration for multi-tenant cluster environments.
- Orchestration Loop Plugins - Integrates external logic into the orchestration loop through a modular plugin system for custom resource handling.
- Delivery Pipeline Observability - Tracks the health and status of deployment pipelines through automated observability dashboards.
- Pipeline Monitoring Dashboards - Generates automated observability dashboards to track the status and health of application delivery processes.
- Kubernetes Ecosystem - Simplifies application delivery on top of Kubernetes.
