App Platform for LKE is a pre-built, self-hosted Kubernetes developer platform that bundles an integrated CNCF open-source stack with a self-service portal for deploying and managing containerized workloads. It uses Helm charts, Kubernetes Operators, and GitOps to provide CI/CD, observability, and security out of the box, optimized for Linode Kubernetes Engine but installable on any conformant cluster.

Use cases

  • set up an internal developer platform on kubernetes
  • give developers self-service deployments on lke
  • deploy containerized workloads with gitops
  • build oci images from source code on kubernetes
  • get ci/cd and observability out of the box on a k8s cluster
  • install a pre-configured kubernetes platform on any conformant cluster
  • manage kubernetes platform state as code with operators

When to choose

  • you run workloads on Linode Kubernetes Engine or Akamai Cloud and want a turnkey developer platform
  • you want a self-service portal so developers can deploy Helm charts and images without ops involvement
  • you want an integrated, pre-configured CNCF tooling stack instead of assembling your own
  • you want GitOps and configuration-as-code management of your platform

When to avoid

  • you need a lightweight tool rather than a full platform with significant cluster resource requirements (e.g., 3 dedicated 8GB nodes)
  • you are not using Kubernetes or cannot run a conformant cluster
  • you prefer to hand-pick and configure each CNCF component yourself
  • you are deeply invested in another cloud vendor's managed platform
