Akamai Application Platform (APL) is a Kubernetes-based framework that enables secure, automated, and self-service deployment and management of cloud-native applications with integrated zero-trust and secrets management.
Akamai App Platform for LKE
APL-core is designed for developers and platform administrators who want to deploy, manage, and secure containerized workloads on Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) or any conformant Kubernetes cluster. It facilitates GitOps-based deployments, multi-tenant governance, and cloud security through built-in policies and zero-trust networking, making it ideal for organizations seeking a comprehensive cloud security and application platform.
This platform requires a conformant Kubernetes cluster such as LKE for deployment. Users should follow the official documentation closely for installation and configuration to ensure proper setup of zero-trust networking and security policies. The platform is designed for multi-tenant environments and supports GitOps workflows, so familiarity with Kubernetes, containerization, and GitOps principles is recommended for effective use.
