KubeVela

KubeVela is a free, open-source software delivery platform for deploying and operating applications across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It describes deployment plans as workflows that can run with CI/CD or GitOps and be extended with CUE. Across clusters and clouds, it supports progressive rollout, canary and blue-green strategies, continuous verification, and placement strategies. Security controls include LDAP integrations, multi-cluster authentication and authorization, fine-grained RBAC modules, and automated observability. Application access control uses native Kubernetes authentication and RBAC objects. The project lists integrations including Kubernetes, Helm, FluxCD, ArgoCD, Git, Harbor, JFrog, Dex, Prometheus, Loki, Grafana, Vector, Terraform, Crossplane, Istio, and ClickHouse. Cloud resources can be used as built-in components or integrated through Terraform and Crossplane. Install it on Linux, macOS, or Windows, or host it on an existing Kubernetes cluster. Standalone VelaD is intended for local development and demos; managed Kubernetes is recommended for production. Its CLI installs the control plane on the Kubernetes derivative targeted by the user's kubeconfig.
