Akuity Platform
What Akuity Platform is
Akuity Platform is a managed Kubernetes application delivery platform powered by Argo. It extends open-source Argo CD with enterprise security, scalability, and automation for GitOps workflows. Kargo provides one control plane for promoting applications and infrastructure across Kubernetes, Terraform, virtual machines, and serverless environments. Integrations and visibility channels include Terraform, Ansible, Slack, Jira, monitoring tools, and Argo CD. AI agents can trigger approved runbooks for incident remediation, either automatically or with human approval, while recording actions and approvals. Pro and Enterprise plans include dashboards for platform usage, resources, sync history, DORA metrics, workloads, and CVE information. Pro costs $495 a month and includes one Argo CD instance, one Kargo instance, 50 applications, 50 stages, 25 million AI tokens monthly, unlimited target clusters and users, and three workspaces. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Enterprise adds custom instances and applications, self-hosted and on-premise deployment, premium support, and a dedicated account manager.
