App Platform IDP with Ready-to-Use CNCF Projects
summary
Akamai’s App Platform is an installable, open-source beta that deploys an opinionated CNCF stack onto a customer Kubernetes cluster, including Helm charts, Falco, Istio, Prometheus, Grafana, Argo CD, Tekton pipelines and a private Harbor registry. It creates per-team namespaces, network policies and Git-backed YAML configs with Tekton build→deploy pipelines and Argo CD deployment, surfaces failures in Argo/Tekton, and claims to produce these golden paths in about 30 minutes to simplify working across the large CNCF ecosystem.
