Introduction to Devtron

Devtron is a tool integration platform for Kubernetes.

Devtron deeply integrates with products across the lifecycle of microservices i.e., CI/CD, security, cost, debugging, and observability via an intuitive web interface. Devtron helps you to deploy, observe, manage & debug the existing Helm apps in all your clusters.

Devtron's Key Features:​

No Code Software Delivery Workflow for Kubernetes​

  • Workflow which understands the domain of Kubernetes, testing, CD, SecOps so that you don't have to write scripts
  • Reusable and composable components so that workflows are easy to construct and reason through

Multi-cloud Deployment​

  • Deploy to multiple Kubernetes clusters on multiple cloud/on-prem from one Devtron setup
  • Works for all cloud providers and on-premise Kubernetes clusters

Easy DevSecOps Integration​

  • Multi-level security policy at global, cluster, environment, and application-level for efficient hierarchical policy management
  • Behavior-driven security policy
  • Define policies and exceptions for Kubernetes resources
  • Define policies for events for faster resolution

Application Debugging Dashboard​

  • One place for all historical Kubernetes events
  • Access all manifests securely, such as secret obfuscation
  • Application metrics for CPU, RAM, HTTP status code, and latency with a comparison between new and old
  • Advanced logging with grep and JSON search
  • Intelligent correlation between events, logs for faster triangulation of issue
  • Auto issue identification

Enterprise-Grade Security and Compliances​

  • Fine-grained access control; control who can edit the configuration and who can deploy.
  • Audit log to know who did what and when
  • History of all CI and CD events
  • Kubernetes events impacting application
  • Relevant cloud events and their impact on applications
  • Advanced workflow policies like blackout window, branch environment relationship to secure build and deployment pipelines

Implements GitOps​

  • GitOps exposed through API and UI so that you don't have to interact with git CLI
  • GitOps backed by Postgres for easy analysis
  • Enforce finer access control than Git

Operational Insights​

  • Deployment metrics to measure the success of the agile process. It captures MTTR, change failure rate, deployment frequency, and deployment size out of the box.
  • Audit log to understand the failure causes
  • Monitor changes across deployments and reverts easily

Compatibility Notes​

  • Devtron uses a modified version of Argo Rollout.
  • Application metrics only work for K8s version 1.16+
