Ctrlplane Documentation

Welcome to Ctrlplane, an open-source orchestration platform designed to simplify and streamline large-scale deployments of both software and infrastructure. Ctrlplane doesn’t aim to replace your existing continuous deployment tools—instead, it integrates with them, pulling everything together into one centralized platform.

Built to solve one problem exceptionally well—deploying at scale—Ctrlplane is perfect for engineering teams managing complex multi-cloud, multi-region, or multi-service environments. It ensures your deployments are secure, properly tested, and fully visible across your fleet.

With Ctrlplane, you get the flexibility to set policies for security, testing, and governance, while maintaining full control over the deployment process. It enhances your existing workflows without the need for major changes, working seamlessly with the CI/CD tools you already rely on—like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Argo, or Terraform.

The real value of Ctrlplane lies in how it simplifies managing complex deployments, saving time and reducing the risk of errors. By centralizing deployment management, Ctrlplane gives platform engineers a clear view of the entire system, while empowering developers to maintain control over their individual services.

In short, Ctrlplane is here to help you deploy at scale, making your existing setup more efficient, secure, and easy to manage
