Ctrlplane

Ctrlplane simplifies infrastructure scaling through powerful deployment orchestration.


Overview

Ctrlplane is an open-source deployment orchestration tool that simplifies complex infrastructure management and scaling.


Introduction to Ctrlplane

Upcoming features and enhancements planned for Ctrlplane

Roadmap

Systems are the highest level organizational units in Ctrlplane that group related deployments and environments together for consistent management.


Systems

Resources are the fundamental building blocks of your infrastructure that
Ctrlplane discovers, manages, and deploys to. A resource represents any cloud or
infrastructure component your applications run on or interact with.


Resources

Runbooks in Ctrlplane are a specialized type of deployment designed to automate
common tasks and workflows that are not necessarily tied to specific
environments. Think of runbooks as your automated playbooks for operational
procedures, incident response, maintenance tasks, and other recurring
activities.


Runbooks

Jobs in Ctrlplane represent external running processes, typically integrating
with your existing CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Kubernetes
Jobs, Argo Workflows, and others. These jobs reflect the status of processes
running in external systems, providing a centralized view of your deployment
activities across various platforms.


Jobs

Job agents are crucial components in Ctrlplane that facilitate the integration
between Ctrlplane and external CI/CD systems. They act as intermediaries,
enabling Ctrlplane to interact with various CI/CD tools and platforms.


Job Agents

Deployments in Ctrlplane are the central organizing principle for managing and
orchestrating the release of your software or infrastructure across various
environments within a system. A deployment represents a complete, end-to-end
process for delivering changes to your system, encompassing everything from
the initial code commit to the final production release.


Deployments

A release in Ctrlplane represents a specific version or iteration of your
software or infrastructure configuration that is ready to be deployed. It is a
crucial component of the deployment process, serving as a snapshot of your
application or system at a particular point in time.


Releases

Environments are system-level resource groupings that represent distinct deployment stages (like dev, staging, production) and control how software progresses through your infrastructure.


Environments

Resource filters define criteria for selecting which resources to
deploy in an environment.


Resource Filtering

Policies for overseeing and approving deployments, ensuring compliance, 
quality, and governance.


Approval & Governance

Deployment control policies regulate execution within environments, managing
concurrency, release filtering, and operational constraints to ensure orderly
processes without resource overload or rule violations.


Deployment Control

Control how multiple releases are handled in your deployment pipeline to prevent conflicts and ensure orderly execution.


Release Management Policies

Release channels allow you to specify which release of a given deployment can
be deployed to a particular environment.


Release Channels

Controls how and when deployments are rolled out to environments, including
incremental rollouts, scheduling deployments during specific windows, and
managing release timing to minimize risk and ensure stability during the
deployment process.

you want to ensure proper observability by automatically deploying OpenTelemetry collectors
to gather metrics and provide standardized monitoring endpoints.
