What is Plural?

Plural is a control plane designed for platform teams to manage Kubernetes environments at scale. It brings AI into day-to-day operations, automates complex upgrades, and helps manage Kubernetes fleets across various environments, including clouds, data centers, and edge locations. Plural ensures that these operations are fully under your control.

Benefits

Plural offers several key advantages for managing Kubernetes environments:

• AI-Native Platform: Plural uses AI to automate and secure the full Kubernetes lifecycle, reducing risk and accelerating troubleshooting.
• Intelligent Upgrade Automation: It automatically detects incompatibilities before upgrades, manages add-ons, and provides a unified view for every upgrade.
• Full Integration with GitOps Workflows: Plural unifies Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code under a single, scalable GitOps workflow, ensuring trusted, auditable, and repeatable automation.
• Agentic Workflows: AI-powered diagnostics detect anomalies and misconfigurations, automatically generating pull requests to remediate issues.
• Multi-Cloud Fleet-Wide Visibility: Gain real-time visibility into cluster health, status, and resource usage across public, private, hybrid, and edge managed clusters.
• Natural Language for Infrastructure: Use natural language to query your environment, navigate dashboards, and understand issues in real time.
• Compliance and Security: Run Plural fully self-hosted for maximum control, enforce compliance, and prevent misconfigurations through GitOps workflows.
