App Platform for LKE
Pre-built Kubernetes platform for deploying, managing, and securing containerized apps
App Platform for LKE is a pre-built Kubernetes developer platform designed to help teams deploy, manage, and secure containerized workloads. It combines developer-centric and operations-centric tooling into a single self-service portal, reducing the need to assemble and maintain a bespoke Kubernetes stack. The platform is optimized for Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) but can be manually installed on any conformant Kubernetes cluster.
The platform includes an integrated, pre-configured stack of open source Kubernetes projects, a Helm chart catalog with golden path templates, Kubernetes Operators, and GitOps for configuration-as-code management. Developer features include building OCI-compliant images from source, deploying workloads, automatic image updates, public exposure of services, access to logs, metrics, and traces, private image registries, network policies, secrets management, and built-in CI/CD pipelines. Administrative capabilities cover multi-tenant team onboarding, security policies, zero-trust networking, observability, and disaster recovery.
App Platform is intended for development teams and platform administrators who need to run cloud native applications on Kubernetes. It supports multi- and hybrid cloud scenarios. The documentation describes automatic installation on LKE, manual installation on LKE, and custom installation on other Kubernetes services, along with supplemental Helm instructions and advanced setup options. No pricing, trial, or edition details are provided.
